Not sure what to say?

Gary was a great guy , we use to work on computers together and he taught me everything I know , he was into hot rod cars and usually the vintage ones. I remember the Dodge Charger and his Vette , He loved cars , computers and ancestry . Gary will be missed. Glad I knew him.My prayers to the family and Lord help them in the healing of his loss.

I never thanked you for many chemistry results over many years! Gregory Gerrans

Gary was a great teacher, he taught me everything I know about chemistry. He was patient and forgiving. I owe my career to him. Wishing you peace and healing as you deal with your loss.
