I worked with Maria at Defense Mapping many years ago. I remember visiting their house when it was toward the end construction for a "Kamikaze" party. It was amazing. An amazing couple. Sorry I missed this from many years ago.
He said he would play this year, maybe he's already practicing.

Maria,
I never met Gary, but do remember you telling fond and amusing stories about "Gruenewald". I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Losing our friend is very sad for all of us, but knowing Gary he wouldn't want us to feel that way. That's how he was, he'd be more concerned about his friends than himself, deflecting attention toward someone else to consider. He was funny, during room fulled events or around the campfire how he had these running comentary's and jokes that unless you were sitting right beside him would go unheard, funny stuff if you caught it. But like i said we wasn't looking for attention or appreciation but he was appreciated, only a special person could have white russians ready when you returned to camp after hiking all day....made with powdered milk and water from a mountain stream and at 9000 feet no less, i can still remember that 25 years later.....how cool was that.....proud to be your friend, i will miss you.

Gary was a very cool brother in law with his quiet demeaner, great sense of humor, and most of all his kind and generous nature. He will be missed! Love, Sue
