Hi Wendy. I know you have this picture but I posted it to remind myself of how his smile lit up the room.  Gary helped me through the hard parts in school and gave me memories that continue to help out today. I am grateful that Gary was in my life. Jeanne

I remember the summer of 1972 at a cottage near Hexenkopf Rocks, Williams Township, Pa. You called my altered state " a trick" -- one that humans could accomplish through meditation. I will never forgot your prescient words. Your gift continues long after you're gone.

One of the best visits ever!!  Thinking of Gary always brings a smile to my face. Long study hours, commiserating over tests, and being invited to the Hammerstone home for Wendy’s chili.  My heart will always be filled with love for you both. ❤️❤️ Jeanne

Hey Wendy,  
Nothing more to say than I loved that guy and thanks for sharing his time with me. Hugs, Jeanne 

There is a another bright star in the heavens, you will be missed.
Your neighbors and friends.
Vicki and Dave 

He was a great patient, a wonderful and funny man. It was an honor to live in the home he built. My love and thoughts are with his lovely wife and family. 

I remember sharp questioning from a keen mind in small, rural cottage in Williams Township, Pa., in the summer of 1972. This is how I remember Gary.  Rest in peace.

Bob Sprague, Arlington, Mass.
