Read More I worked with Gary for a short time at Chevron Asphalt. He took me fly-fishing for the first time and I have been hooked since. Thanks for that Gary! I send my deepest sympathies to all of the family and friends who have lost such great person. He was truly a cool guy!

Rachelle, your dad had such an impact on me growing up and practically living with you in our teen years. He was like a dad to me, always teasing, holding me accountable, taking us sailing, showing me what a man and a father should be. He raised some lovely women and I feel blessed to have been a small part of your family. I will always hold him dear to my heart.

I worked with Gary for over 25 years. He was such a sweetie. We had the same birthday, and he would bring me flowers. He will be greatly missed.

Gary was a great friend to us and we'll always miss him and his kind ways. He's definitely left a hole in our lives. We shared many a wonderful motorcycle ride with him and Phyllis. Gary was a savvy planner for all the fun routes and we saw so many scenic places and have tons of enjoyable memories because of him. We are so sorry for Phyllis and the family for their loss and ours as well. Jerry and Shirley

I've known Gary for 25 years, he's the best man you will ever know. He was like a brother to me. He was with me through good times and bad. There's not enough words to explain how much he meant to me. We'll always love you Gary
