It is with great sadness to announce the passing of our Cousin Richard Gary Waldrep on June 30, 2023. Gary was like a brother to Michael and Me.

As of today, Gary’s cause of death is unknown. 

Gary was born August 15, 1950.  He would have been 73 years young next month. Gary grew up with us on East Ridge Road, graduated from East Hall and was a veteran of the US Army. He served during the Vietnam War era, stationed in Germany and Paris France during the Peace talks to end the War.
