ReplyDeleteGary J. Frisk was many things to many people - all Good! I was fortunate enough to grow up with him, as a classmate, teammate and friend, and to keep in touch these past few years - sharing the same points of view and a few memories. What I am most proud of is what he had become as a husband, father, and Chief - never changing his values, and always doing the right thing! We will never forget you - just like you never forgot us! Rest In Peace - My Friend! Bill Hagerdon - Class of 1962.
