I worked with Gary for many years at Millstone and CY. He was kind and compassionate. He always took the time to really listen to people. We had great times with Gary and his wife Susan which will always be remembered. He was a wonderful friend and will be missed. With love and sympathy.

I will miss this man, he was always a top class brother in law. Gary made sure he visited his family members no matter how far he had to travel and offered anything he had to help those in need. Love you Gary, you will be missed by all of those you touched

A few months after the birth of your first son, and the birth of my first son, Andrew, was imminent, you shared something with me that I never forgot, and that I have since shared many, many times. "A child changes the Center of your Universe." Beautiful. Thank you, Gary. This is how I remember you. The Driftwood County Five is now Four.

Over the years, Gary was my colleague, customer, and then "Oversite" at CY. He was one of the few CY folks who welcomed and helped the interloping decommisioning crew who came to tear apart his plant. Just the kind of guy he was. Rest in peace, Gary.
