On November 3, 2007, Dennis Pollard forwarded this message to the SPOON from Leslie Hoag: Dennis, I got an email tonight from one of Gary's friends. He was killed yesterday in an accident on his way back to Oregon when he swerved to avoid a deer near Willits and rolled 300 feet down an embankment. He died instantly. The friend who was with him was able to escape from the car and climb up the embankment with only scrapes and bruises. Please forward to all our classmates who were at the reunion. There may be a memorial service in LA. I'm still in shock. Leslie (Hoag) Hope ##
