We'll miss our ol' friend and neighbor from the days we lived two doors down, and Sandy babysat the kids in the 90's. Gunner was always quick to share a laugh and a beer or help with a car problem. If you noticed more room in their driveway the last couple years, it was because of me!

I worked with Gunner for a few years before he retired. We shared many lunches and a few beers together after work. My condolences to your family.
