Gary was a wonderful mentor to me when I first came to Phoenix. We shared an interest in the future of Arizona, and worked on several city task forces together, like the one to establish the Mountain Preserve. I will always be grateful to him for believing in me.

Gary was both a business client and hiking buddy. He was always very kind and warm towards me. We shared the love of the outdoors and especially Camelback Mt. God bless his soul. Scott Summers, business banker & friend

I worked as Gary´s executive assistant for a couple of years at WS. One memory I would like to share, is that every Tuesday from 11:00-2:00 I would block out his calendar. This was his time to go and play tennis. Gary was a very kind and God fearing man. My deepest condolences to all of his family.
