Not sure what to say?

We had good times fishing and crabbing together and road sides while we were still working the road although we worked for different departments. Miss you buddy.

I always do this; decide to reach out to an old friend and then it´s too late. I attended Queen Anne with Gary until I dropped out to go into the Army. We met again in Hanau, Germany and then spent a great deal of time together with Gordy at Shoreline College. Unfortunately, after Shoreline as I was moving around in Federal service and the Army. Gary was always a great person who believed very strongly Law Enforcement professionalism. I salute your exemplary life. COL Chris Hamlin, USA, Ret

Trooper Sundt... Thank you for your service to your community, the police profession, WSP and you're country.

Speaking on behalf of schoolmates going back to kindergarten (ca. 1953) you will be missed by all. Thanks for the memories of childhood summer sleepovers when your dad would don a sheet to scare the bajeezus out of us, fishing at Magnolia beach to see who could catch the biggest bullhead, our first experience golfing at the Greenlake Pitch and Putt, going to church camp at Pilgrim Firs, working together at Tradewell (our first jobs), and later on the many fun golf tournaments you hosted that...

Gary, you were my cousin. I remember your mom telling me you flew helicopter in the service. I think I remember this right. Maybe it was Gordy. I have fond memories of visiting your family when I was young. Cancer is a rough thing to go through. At least now you feel no pain. Life is short compared to the millions and millions this planet has known life. We live it the best we can and I´m sure you did that.

Two of my fond memories of being a neighbor of Gary in Lynnwood - annual salmon bbq and when my wife made a sweatshirt for Gary celebrating when he first became "sarge" Gary, just for you as a Husky, I will say "Go Cougs"!

Gary was a long-time neighbor in Lynnwood back in the late 70's & early 80's. What an absolutely wonderful person, friend, neighbor. Gary had an annual salmon bbq in his backyard and yes, our cats were invited too! Living across the street we would always kid one another (he being a Coug and my wife and I Huskies) and hang sarcastic banners on one another's garages after the Apple Cup. My wife made Gary a Sweatshirt with Sarge on It when he first got promoted - so many memories buddie. ...
