Gary was my wrestling coach in Boulder High School days, along with Ron Carlson. Gary was a great partner with Ron turning boys into men by modeling how to conduct ourselves on and off the mat. Along with being a great motivator, Gary was one of the kindest human beings I've had the privilege of knowing. My heart goes out to his family for having lost a soul who was one of the very best of us.
