Garry and I graduated from Teays Valley High School Class of 1978 together. We grew up together in Ashville Ohio and played baseball for many youth teams as well as our High School team. I have great memories of my days growing up there with him and his family. On behalf of his classmates of 1978, may you find peace and know that we will always remember him, and that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of loss..
