hospital in Phoenix after undergoing two brain surgeries within 12 hours of each other. He seemed to be doing better and the day before Christmas was transferred to a hospice care facility after being taken off the ventilator at the hospital. About 4:45pm today we received the call I dreaded to hear. Gary had passed away at 4:20pm.The doctors felt that he had had another stroke within the last 12 hours since his responses to stimuli had sharply decreased and his breathing and heart rhythm had gotten labored. This was not a positive sign and, shortly after 4pm, he was no longer with us.
He and Patsy were/are great friends and we will miss Gary, his sense of humor and his antics very much. This is especially tough since they have always made us feel like we were part of their family. I am glad we could spend a few precious moments with he and Patsy when they first arrived in Casa Grande...
