Although we didn't chum around too much in our high school years, I was in some of his classes. I always found him to be friendly and helpful to others.

I am sorry to hear about Gary. I worked with him for most of my career with the BC Government. I even got to go fishing with him once when he took some us out on the boat. He was a wonderful man.
