I remember Gary well. I am the young man in the photo with Gary and Kurt Grier with the coyote. Gary coached me in the making "the shot" which led to me participating in shooting as a sport in college.

I am sure that Gary's family will always remember what a great "coach" Gary was throughout their life. I count myself lucky to have shared just one of these moments.
