So sorry to hear this. He was a great man and fun to be around. Years of
"Here Comes Kovach" and playing softball with him.

I used to work for Gary in 1970 and 1971. in 1973 I went into business for myself. In 1982 Gary bought half of my business. It was hard to get help and if I was not in a truck I was under it.

My sincere sympathy to the Kovach family. I meet Gary back in the fifties when he was my rubbish collector and have always found him to be a wonderful man who will be missed by many. May you rest in peace Gary. Sincerely, Betty Ebeling
