I had the privilege of working with Gary for several decades at BASF. His influence on my life was profound, and his guidance proved invaluable throughout my career. I am deeply saddened by his passing and remain forever grateful for his mentorship.

One of my favorite pictures of you and Dad, in your favorite place, enjoying nature and each other's company. Thank you for all the life lessons, and fixing all the mechanical things I managed to break throughout the years. The years of 3D shoots, fishing, and Mackinac trips will always be great memories. I know you are up there with Joe, hopefully finding your next best hunting spot. Love you always

In loving memory of my dearest brother. I will love you and miss you everyday, as my heart is broken. You meant so much to me. You were my Hunting and fishing and project partner, my mentor, my best friend and most of all my dearest brother for my entire life. We shared so many good times together. Life will be hard going forward without you, but I know you're in a better place and finally at peace. I love you and miss you so very much.
