Gary was always the top gun on the repeater with all of his jokes and candid one-liners. He was always knew how to capture his audience. Was very fun to be around on and off the radio. Gary was always great to my kids, giving them little gifts and Junior Mints whenever we would visit. Gary will always be "sandbagging" the repeater making a list of corrections. 73- Shadow 7

Gary De Young, earned his Eagle in 1969 with the OOA and Boy Scouts too.
What a breath of fresh American air, honest, caring, helping all. A great professional musician, a supurb drummer. His version of Gary in 1968 did as a musician In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by iron Butterfly will always be remembered .
Please say a prayer for Gary, he was a great practicing Christian.
