Just in case there are friends on dailykos that I haven't talked to directly, I'd like to post my dad's very brief obituary. My dad passed away after a very long and very healthy life. Had a double bypass at the tender age of about 87 from which he recovered fully.
GARRY -- James Michael, 95, on March 9, at Hamden, CT. Born Paisley,
Scotland. Beloved husband of the late Elinore, father of Jane Garry and
James D. Garry, grandfather of Andrew and James Shapiro and Joseph Garry;
father-in-law of Fred Shapiro and Rose Ann Garry. Courageous labor
organizer during the 1930s through 1970s, serving as president and business
manager of several locals of the United Electrical Workers and the IUE. Ran
for Congress on the ALP ticket in 1952 in 7th District, Queens. Served in the
United States Army Air Forces in World War II.
Short and sweet. RIP Dad.
