Gary was a guide, friend and mentor to me . As the "new" guy in Stowe in 1986, he shared his knowledge and insights of AIG and it's working in helping our team develop a "world class" hospitality operation at the ski resort. He, his late wife joan, my wife Diane and myself spent many enjoyable evenings dining at the many wonderful restaurants in Stowe-Gary and my wife had a passion for calves liver(ugh!). We'd drive all over Vermont trying to find the best liver available. Really!! Sorry to learn of his passing. A truly exceptional person. I am ever grateful for having been his fried. Condolences(belated) to the family.
