To Gary's family,

I was honored to work with Gary on the police department, but I also worked with him at the starting years of the Crime Stoppers program. Working with him and Joel Working was indeed a great experience. He will be missed and we thank him for all her did to help make Fort Wayne and Allen County a safer place for us all. Prayers are with you all.
