Gary was one of the first guys I met when I hired in to the V-8 Plant in 1976. He always had a smile and would joke with me constantly. We played alot of softball together back in the day and he was a big help to me when I would put on the Local 659 Bass Tournament. I will truly miss my friend. My deepest sympathy to Judy and the Porritt Family. God Bless. "Higgy"
