Lois, Candy and I were shocked and deeply saddened on reading of Gary's passing. Those wonderful days at Noank shipyard and Block Island were some of the best. "Dialin Around" still hangs in Mahogany Shoals. Great memories.
Thinking of you,

Lois: My prayers are with you. I loved working with Gary at WNLC/WTYD. He recommended me for my position as GM of WLIS and I was forever grateful. He was a true Radio Man with a heart of Gold.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Gary but when I lived in N.H. I used to listen to him on WPOP which came in really well up there at night. There are so few people in broadcasting who were able to do almost any job from sales to on-air to management to ownership, so Gary was indeed a great talent. His passing is a great loss to the industry as well as to the many friends and co-workers that were blessed to know him over the years.

Gary gave me a shot at advertising (with no experience) at Smooth Jazz 107.7, he was very patient, but I wasn't very good. I will always remember him!

I was very sad to hear the news. Gary was a super nice guy, and I'm so glad I was able to help him in attaining his dream with WKCD. You are in my thoughts, Lois.

Lois,
Sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I have many great memories growing up next door to Gary. The planes he had hanging from the ceiling of his room, fixing cars in the driveway, the first boat of yours and the trip we had on the Ct.River.
