Cathy-I do not know if you remember me or not but I met you in Atlanta when Rhett was just a baby. I owe Gray my career-he started me off at B&V so many years ago. I only learned of his passing today. Would love to connect with you and Daken and tell you many great stories of my hero Gary.

Please accept my heart felt condolensces. I sat next to Gary at BMcD. Gary was a great engineer. He always loved to teach people and he always said "no question is a stupid question and it's an opportunity for me to learn something." He certainly knew alot but what I respect about him most was his humbleness to share all he knew to the younger generation. Burns & McDonnell certainly won't be the same without.

I wish to express my deep sorrow at Gary's passing. I sat near Gary at BMcD. I loved to listen to him while he explained engineering theory, concepts and resolved problem. He was able to explain things in a way that was easy to comprehend. I am going to miss his daily greeting.

Dear Engmann Family, I know Gary from working at BMcD. For the past several years, whenever I said hi Gary how are you? Gary replied, fantastic! And he told me why. I feel lucky to have known him at work. Please accept my condolences. Sharon Pfau

Dear Engmann Family:
As a fairly new BMcD employee, I only knew Gary briefly. In that short time I had a high regard for Gary's technical prowess. More importantly I think, I also got to know him as a person of integrity.
We here all share in your loss.
