To Gary's family,
Gary was a student of my late husband at Roosevelt Elementary School in Port Huron, MI. His parents were good friends living only a few blocks apart - They were great P.T.A. parents. Eugene and my husband sang in a large men's chorus called the Shubert Club and we traveled together to concerts in Michigan where we would often stay overnight and party lots I am sorry to hear of Gary's passing and I cannot believe he was 71 years old. My husband passed 20 years ago. Gary's Dad worked at a local flower shop after Beth's death so often would stop with a delivery for me some years ago. I thought Gary had a sister but could not be certain from the obituary. My sincere sympathy to you, his wife, and to all your family. Lots of good memories of the Shipley family. Seems to me they also had a dog back then.
I send love and sympathy to all from an old, old neighbor, Margie Limberg now living in St. Clair, Mi.
