I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I’ll never forget spending many an evening at Sandy’s talking to Gary, Sandy, Don, and the whole gang. You all became “family” during my time at Quincy University and the memories we had there will always be a part of what made college such a great time.
When I think of my best memories at QU, Sandy’s Bar and Gary come to mind immediately. He was a good man. I am sorry that present and future QU students won’t know him.
