I used to work with Gary many years ago. I was a young man then and new to the field. Gary was such a sweet and encouraging soul. I will never forget his kindness and encouragement. There are some people that just stick with you forever and Gary was one of those people. I'm sorry for your loss. Gary was a FINE man.

My deep sympathies to Gary's family. He was a good friend. We enjoyed laughs as part of the regular crew for Metro Parks Race Club and local parades for many years. I will miss Gary's friendship very much. Godspeed, good friend.

Gary was a friend and coworker. He was so generous to his friends. My husband and I had just bought a house near work with the most frightening decor ever. I was telling Gary how much I hated painting and to make this shorter, Gary volunteeted to paint my kitchen and ultimately, my watermelon enameled hall.
My office had a not to the ceiling high wall between me and Gary's office. If things got tedious , the voice across the wall provided some of the most amusing stories I had ever heard.
Gary helped me many times over the years with legal advice,great jokes and just being there to listen when things got me down.
He grew up near my relatives home and could tell you where to go and what to do in NYC. He will be missed. He was one of a kind for sure.
