Gary Peter Ponzoli

West Point, 1964

Be Thou At Peace

The first thing that comes to mind when I reflect on Gary is what a really nice friend he was. Almost shy. He had a warm smile and a quiet yet sturdy demeanor. You wanted to give the guy a big hug! Was there a teddybear quality about him? I think so.

It was so long ago that
it was yesterday
when
we scurried about.
Sometimes in the rain.

And the goodness
the radiance
that is you
dwells in the grains
of those cold gray stones
that are filled with warmth
