Gary was a great guy. I knew him in the business world as well as at the university of Ut. He was a great competitor in all areas of life. He was a good friend. He was a good swimmer and very fast. We swam together and won many events. He will be missed. He was an honest and a good man. My love to his family even though I have not met them.
