In 2007, Harford Day lost a very close friend of the school in a tragic accident. Today’s tournament is being dedicated in memory of Gary Michael Jastrab whose contributions to the school were endless and who had a profound effect on all who knew and loved him.

Gary played in Harford Day’s Golf Tournament for 16 years. Gary used to tell his wife, Barbara, and son, Greg, every morning to. . . “Make Someone

Happy Today,”— so today we will be honoring a golfer for his dedication, enthusiasm, and for his love of Harford Day School.

Following Gary’s death, his wife and a close friend wrote the following passage which we like to share each year at our tournament.

In Memory of Gary M. Jastrab

Life is like a round of golf

It’s ne’er the same game twice

A gentleman’s game of life

Reduced to 18 holes of fun

Rounds are best when paired with friends, And I have known the best

The times we’ve shared meant all to me

Swing true, keep playing on

I took the time upon the course

To stop along the way

A lesson taught, a hand to lend

My scorecard tells the tale

And though life sent its hooks and traps

I felt each day was blessed

I got the best of everything

My family, work, and friends

My stories, some you may recall Might bring a smile still

My life, I hope touched you well My love was strong and true

And though I had to pass you by Play through these last few holes Just know in a beat, a chord, a song That I am with you still

Don’t grieve because my game is done Rejoice because it was I lived to bless, was blessed to live I call that a hole in one.
