Not sure what to say?

I knew Gary (Skinner) through Mensa (www.us.mensa.org). He has been gone for a few days over ten years now and I still miss him.

Skinner was a straight shooter with a large heart. He had humility grounded deep in the bedrock of his self-knowledge. He was a fine mentor and a loyal colleague. I wish I had more time with him.

Meet Gary on a NWTA. He was a wonderful man and truly devoted to helping other men become the best versions of themselves. He brought the best cookies that his wife baked. Always appreciated him bringing her love and nurturing to the NWTA.

Gary was a beautiful soul. I learned so much from home since doing LT3 in Houston for MKP. I miss my friend.

Gary was one of my contemporaries in the ManKindProject. I knew that something was about to happen whenever he walked into the room. He was both a teacher and student, brilliant, compassionate, and fierce. As the wizard said, "A man is not judged by how much he loves, but rather by how much he is loved."
Reading through this guest book, I know that it's true. I miss you Gary!

Skinner was always very kind to me and welcoming when I needed it. I very much appreciated the friendly and fun space Skinner (and Yvonne) created. Thank you.
