Ann:
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. We fondly remember our days together at Purdue, where we shared the poverty of graduate school. You and Carol became life-long friends, as a result of Gary and I working late in the lab. Even though it has been many years since our visit to Arizona, you both have often been in our thoughts. Your unique annual Christmas cards are a legend in our family, and we look forward to them continuing. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Gary was a research administration and tennis colleague while I was at ASU. Moreover, we shared a common love of standard poodles! He always made me feel welcome, was fun to chat with, and had a great sense of humor and understanding. His passing leaves only fond memories for me.

Gary was an old friend and colleague. We met through mutual interests in science and technology, nearly 50 years ago. He was always full of enthusiasm for new challenges. I will miss him. So will his two 'rescued' friends!
