I am a classmate and always have enjoyed our time together during class reunions and any other times we might have shared. Gary and I worked on a couple of the reunion committees together and we always enjoyed the laughs. He was a dear and fun person and will definitely be missed. I send my deepest condolences to his family and to Carolyn.

Gary was part of our IMCS Team at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. His Analyst acumen was sought after. His stories of his military days were legendary. He had a distinctive laugh and a wit that we will miss.
