In his free time, Gary enjoyed hunting and golfing. He was a dedicated baseball coach for his two sons. Gary had an inquisitive mind and never stopped learning.

I always enjoyed working with Gary. I remember his help on several Hazops during my time in the Louisville Plant. My prayers for God´s comfort and peace in this time for Patty and family as we will miss him.

I first worked with Gary during the HK-2 Project 1978-79 startup, and he, Dany Skedzielewski, and I enjoyed too many off-hours indulging in various libations. In the following decades Gary was an integral part of the safety analyses for process/projects I worked on, esp. him leading more HAZHOPs than I care to remember, and me taking the meeting notes. A fine engineer who always kept an even-strain, and a fine person who will be missed.

My condolences to Patti and the rest of the family. Rset inpeace, Gary, you are part of my good memories.
