    So sorry to hear about Gar– I only had the opportunity to meet him once, but exchanged Christmas cards until Sallys death. I didnt even know I had a half brother until I was in my late 30’s and didnt get to meet him until I was 50ish… He sure looked like my Dad Wallace! I know he missed Sally a lot, he is with his loved ones now. I know you will all miss him very much
