Gary Cheatum

I have known Gary for the past 10 years. He was very friendly and humerous. During my term as Vice Commodore of NSA, he was very helpful donating or finding the right equipment to install on the club boats. He also gave valuable advice as a past Vice Commodore himself, that helped me during my tenure. I had the privelage of raceing with him for half a season, which I shall never forget. He will be missed.

I'm having trouble without my Sat. breakfast with Gary. I miss our coordinated solutions to the world's problems. Greatly missed, but greatly tempered!

I believe Gary has located Mother Nature, and is calling attention to the low water level, and pointing out the watershed for Cheney Lake.

Gary was a fun Captain. He tried to teach me how to sail. I enjoyed the banter!

Gary taught me so much and always brought a smile and a laugh. You will be forever in my heart Gary!

Countless times over the years, Gary came to my rescue on sailing and car projects that were challenging. He never criticized my ignorance, and always listened to my suggestions before implementing his. Even when our troubleshooting went nowhere, he would make sure I took a break and came back motivated & in a good mood. In my short, but adventurous life, I´ve been around a lot of talented people, but Gary was multi talented. Truly, a unique and valuable friend.
