My condolences to the Zernicke family at this most difficult of times.
It’s been about 40 years since I’ve seen you. It’s my great loss that I didn’t stay in touch with my high school friend Lori & her first and only love, Gary.
It’s a strange world where I lived in Hamburg as a preschooler & went to kindergarten at the old Berlin school. Lori & I met while attending DC Everest. My family moved to Tomahawk and yours moved to the Hamburg area. I probably would never have known of Gary’s passing if I it hadn’t been listed by Krueger’s in Tomahawk. It’s surely a strange and wonderful world of coincidences bridging the bonds of time.
I saw Gary’s picture and even though so much time has gone by, I knew his face right away.
His kindness still shines from his smile. I haven’t forgotten the young man I knew and I honor the husband, father, & grandfather he became.
Bless you all, remember his love for you and it will always be there.
Laura Marcott- Class of ‘78 ❤️
