August 14, 2022 at 1:25 pmGail took the time to share his cooking expertise with my junior high aged daughter years ago.
He and Paula took my daughter, for the DAY, and taught her to make pierogis!!. Not only did Gail patiently teach her the method, but then shared in the finished product. THEN sent some home as well. Such a gentle, kind hearted, giving, sharing soul.
He will truly be missed. He made a difference!
