I am so sorry for your loss, I only just heard of Gary's passing. I worked with him and Mike at Evans Electric, and cross paths him at several other contractors as well, thru the years.

Gary was a good hand, and a great guy, easy to work with.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Mary and Sam. Gary was a nice guy and I remember him well. Bill and I had taken my first ski trip to Colorado while he was working at Geha back in the 80's and enjoyed hearing some advice and stories from him about snow skiing.
So sorry for your loss,
