Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gandall,but I have known his son Terry for many years and if he is an example of the type of man Mr. Gandall was then iI am sorry to have never met him. I know that he will be sorely missed and there will be a void in his family that cannot be filled. My prayers and thoughts are with the Gandall family at this time.
