Sadden to hear you passed but now your with Phyllis, we met in 1959 and friends all through the years with so many precious memories, Loved you both
So many GREAT memories of working with GD at DOR and playing on the office softball team “PIZZA WORKS” which he coached back when we worked in the Jefferson Building. His performance act at the office XMAS party when we worked in the Truman Building, of an upside down person was hilarious. Even decades later it still puts a smile on my face. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to talk with GD a couple years back when I ran into him at Heisinger Bluffs as the musical group I was with was entertaining the residents. He recognized that he knew me, and I helped him put a name to my face. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
