I am a childhood friend of his oldest daughter. I knew Gary in my childhood. I always knew him to be a patient loving parent and a loyal husband. He will live on through our hearts.

Gary is a wonderful person and will be missed at work. In fact, it's already too quiet around here. I will miss his smile and quick wit.

I worked with Gary at Haldor Topsoe for a number of years. He was a great guy that loved his wife and daughters very, very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. He will be missed.
