We got to know Gary through his brother Ed while deer hunting in the Crivitz area. My first recollection of Gary was him and Ed finding a nice 10 or12 point buck for a young nephew with a loud yep, here it is and excited yelling by the boy during my first years deer hunting in the Crivitz area. To me Gary always seemed to be a wealth of knowledge and could carry on a conversation about anything. With his many stories and willingness to help there was always laughter in deer camp.

Gary was a great guy. I got to know him while hunting in Crivitz with my brother-in-law. Gary would come to visit our camp with snacks to share, tell a few funny stories and share hunting stories. One year I hurt my eye while hunting. Gary offered to ride with me to the hospital, made sure I got there ok. He was a very good guy and he's going to be missed.
