Katherine Lipsky (Miller) (1976)
He lived across the street from our family in my younger years (prior to being a teenager) and, we called him "Deannie." He had a Collie for a pet, I remember his warm, gentle smile, and was best friends with my brother, Gordon. I have thought of him over the years and was surprised to see this post and that he passed away so young, only a few months prior to Gordon's death. It is a tragedy for a parent to lose a child.....my parents were never the same after Gordon's death.
