I only met Gary once: My daughter, Lauren asked, Virgie if she could have a surprise birthday for one of her friends:

Virgie of course said, Yes! So as the house was getting ready/there sat Gary on the couch watching TV: He had a smile on his face/like it was "no big deal that my house has been taken over AGAIN!"

I laughed/cried along side my daughter/as we heard the words from his best friend, Morrie Rose talk about HIS best friend, Gary....but the side show of his pictures really made us laugh/cry:

But the most enduring were words from Julian (Perez) who is going to be a NEW daddy in September, "I want to be a dad just like Gary"....I know Gary would have loved to hear those words...

You'll never be forgotten, Gary as you left a LEGACY....and that's the best...

Oh Gary, over the past few years when I went to W-5 I would miss seeing you, I always looked forward to visiting with you, talking about life, and photgraphy, oh and your brothers bussiness of a nutritionist, I'll never forget your advise about how you will know you have exceeded your limit of Vitamen C, LOL!! I truly enjoyed the years I worked in the office next to you in W-1, you put a smile on my face everyday that I saw you!I think of photography and I think of you, I really wanted to get you to do some shots for me, especially since I had my daughter....I'll miss you, my Precor family member, no one makes jokes like you! Being around you was a good time, I will miss you so much Gary...God Bless you Virginia, and your Children and Grandkids,Gary talked about his Family often, with Pride and Love. You all were lucky to have had him, he definataly makes an impact :)
Prayer-Dear Lord, hold this wonderful soul close, may he be at peace with you, and cloak his Family in the comfort that he is with you and that they will be with him some day...Bless them, Amen

Gary,I sit here with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes.I cannot find the words to express how much losing you has impacted me and dozens of the other Boeing employees here at the EMC building.You have no idea how many people that you touched in the short time that you have worked here.I will not only miss you I will miss your jokes and the stories of your adventures being a photographer.I have worked with a great deal of people here at the Boeing Co and I am sure that at the end of my career here I will have forgotten most of them but you sir I will never forget.You are one of a kind and you will be missed by many. Goodbye my friend.
