I’m so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. I was his HR person at Gulfstream and we became fast friends. It was an unusual friendship for sure but we knew some of the same people and just clicked. He was always a class act and would do anything he could to help out in any situation. I will always remember the many hours we spent laughing together in our offices about random stuff. I will miss you old friend.

To Alan, Anna and family. My sympathy goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. Even though we haven't seen each other in awhile, we are all always connected working at Deluxe Check Printers. Gary was a great guy and my prayers go out to all of you.

Gary was a friendly guy. Always there to help others. He made our neighbor hood, setting the bar high with his impeccable home and yard. Our family and friends always comment about the home and how well behaved his dog (Boone) is. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
