I worked with Gary at Oneac 1994-2000. He was a great guy. Happy hour after work at the bowling alley and Donello's was a lot of laughs. He will be missed. John T.

I am so saddened to hear about Gary's passing. Along with me, many of his former Oneac co-workers are devastated and after years of not working together still speak of him often. Our hearts are broken for all of his family and friends.
