I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. We would chat in the halls of MVA when we would see each other mostly about his grandkids and family he loved so much and helped out wherever he could. He was such a nice guy. He will be missed.

I knew Gary from MVA. He was a good natured guy and he loved telling stories, which I enjoyed. We would always have lighthearted conversations when we would see each other in passing. My sympathies and prayers to Gary’s Family.
