I've know Garry through our association with Carolina Classic. He was a good friend and very helpful to me. Most of all I'll remember him as good company at boat shows. He was always laughing which was infectious to everyone else. I'll always remember his "whistlin' gopher story".
Here's to a good man.

Let's celebrate Garry's life. He was a loving husband, great dad and steadfast friend. We met at the NY Boat Show in 1977 and have been friends since. We have spent over 20 Christmases together here in Florida and Christmas will never be the same.
And, going fishing without "Mr. G.' will not be as much fun.
All our lives are better for having known Garry. He will be missed.

Meeting Gary over the years was one of my fondest memories. We have been friends for more than 25 years, and both of us would go out of our way to greet oneanother at the boat shows and marine events over the years. I will miss him and his smiling face. Best wishes to you Marge. Tom and Karen
