Dear Gary,
This is Micha from East High. We graduated together Class of ’82 and we sat together in Mr. DiPiero’s Biology class. You would give me the wrong answer on purpose and the class would crack up. I saw you in Youngstown last Friday at the Home Savings & Loans Bank on the East side when I got off work around 4:30 p.m. but I wasn’t sure if it was you. Then I saw your brother’s obituary and I knew it was you. I regret not going up to you in line. I am so sorry about the loss of your brother. He was a wonderful person from what I read. I will keep you and your family in prayer. Be encourage and God Bless. With Deepest Sympathy, Michaela Jackson (Please let me konw you received this via txt or call on my cell: 330-501-3464.

Condolence from Margaret R. Tate on January 13th, 2015 9:57 pm

To The Croft Family-Greg and Marcella will always be the “High School” couple that made a beautiful family and stayed together. In Youngstown or Columbus, when you would see one, the other was always close by, one the phone or on the way. Marcella, you experienced a love most of us just dream about or pretend to have. My pray for you is to allow sweet memories of Greg to dry the tears and remember to thank God, you had a true love for over 30 years.
