Gary was such a wonderful person. I feel like a better person just for knowing him, it's hard to express how much he will be missed. He was a good friend and co-worker at Fluor who always put a smile on your face. My heart goes out to you and you family.

Jean,
The Lord puts people in our lives with such lasting friendships that they remain in our hearts and minds for a lifetime. Gary was one of those people for me. While working for him at Fluor (Daniel) I will never forget what a caring and kind person he was to all of us who worked for him. He took a work environment and created a family with his laugher, his caring and his kind ways. He will be missed by all of us. Steve and I are praying for you and your family.
