gary herrick, a remembrance

Larry Layden, one of our storytellers, saw a Facebook post about these Herrick photos, which included Howard Herrick. Larry said,
One of Howard's children was Gary, class of 1960. Gary's nickname was "Cubby" and he was built like a bear. Played center on the Table Rock football team. Lettered at least 3 times. Was a good friend. Always carried a pair of pliers. |
Gary Herrick was born in 1941 and died in 2015.
