I remember Gary Sipma quite well, for he was one of the first people that made me realize the preciousness of each day. I remember that he lost his life during high school- being hit by a train at a train crossing. Like all of us, he was a new and inexperienced driver. By the grace of God we all go forward!
Nice comments Kris. Gary was just a bit of a rule breaker...kind of like me and my friends. His tragic end in the car/train accident also took the life of Karen Book, a girl I was just getting started with. The accident was truly heartbreaking and shook up lots of classmates. Early reminder of our mortality. Sorry we lost Gary so young.
I first met Gary at Ridgeview, and our dad's knew each other. He was fun to be around and had a great sense of humor. They have a stoplight at that RR intersection now. Thinking back that must have been a very tough time for Glen as well, who survived that crash. I can't imagine.
