I worked for Gary after school (I was a teacher at RHS in '77 & '78) on weekdays delivering feed and supplies to area ranchers. Clay and Pearl and the gang were always at the store and always good for coffee and conversation. Gary was a fantastic guy and it was my privilege to have known him. My condolences to the family.

I met Gary when my truck broke down outside of town on a cold January day. It was a weekend but Gary went out of his way to get me on the road. A very kind and absolutely hilarious man. That part is still in my truck and running strong. RIP Gary
