RIP Father Gary. I still vividly recall life in Millville's third ward in the 60s with the entire Hayes and many other outstanding neighborhood families. Gary was a true friend and elementary school classmate as Anthony pointed out earlier. Over the years we didn't see each other as our life paths never really crossed, so it was a real "homecoming" two years ago when many members of the 1966 eighth grade graduating class from St. Marys, including Gary, attended a reunion where we all reconnected after many, many years. I am truly grateful for that night, and meeting with Gary and other graduates at a follow-up luncheon later that year. It was truly inspiring, almost like we never left the old neighborhood and the great times we had.
Our condolences and prayers are offered to Gary and the entire Hayes family and friends. And again, may Gary be at peace. God be with you.
