View all 46 ReflectionsGary, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, hear your voice or the phone call telling me you left us. I tell all my students about you and how you used your own money to replace an elderly woman's rose bushes torn up by seniors on a scavenger hunt. You were a caring man and I was lucky to have worked with you!
