DR. GARY SOLE, 72, of
Bloomfield Hills and
Delray Beach, Fla., died
Nov. 25, 2013, after a
courageous battle against
pancreatic cancer.
He died as he wished,
at home, holding hands
Sole
with Carol, his beloved
wife of 46 years, and surrounded by his
adoring sons, Marc and Jay. He loved noth-
ing more than his wife; children; daughters-
in-law, Pamela and Meryl Sole; and grand-
children, Annabelle, Lucy and Carly Sole.
Born in Brooklyn in 1941, he was a
proud graduate of Erasmus Hall High
School before coming to Michigan to
attend Michigan State University, from
which he graduated in 1963.

I would like to extend my sincerest thanks and

gratitude to all my friends and family during this

difficult time. Your support and thoughtfulness has

helped to ease the pain of my profound loss. My

wife, Patty, was such a special, generous and caring

individual to all who had the wonderful opportunity

of knowing her. She will be so greatly missed.

Sincerely,
Larry Shook
