I will miss my good friend. We enjoyed many experiences together. They would not be as much fun without Gary.

Gary was a close friend. We golfed, vacationed together, watched the Seahawks & Mariners and worked together. He was an excellent & close friend.

It seems impossible that we have gotten to an age where we are losing our contemporaries. Gary faced death with the same determination and kindness and courage that served him so well throughout his life, and in so doing taught us all a lesson in what it means to be brave and at peace with yourself. His legacy will live on in his children and grandchildren and all those he touched and mentored and loved throughout his life. Our hearts and prayers are with Iris and the family during this difficult time. I picture Gary on the fairway of a beautiful course in heaven, heading to his Mercedes golf cart after just hitting the longest drive he has ever hit. May peace be with you my friend.

Gary was a good friend and mentor. I enjoyed and valued his perspective on life, business, and commitment to family. He will be missed and thought of respectfully and lovingly by everyone he touched throughout his life. My thoughts are with Iris who was a loving wife, friend, and caretaker.

I knew Gary back at Highline HS; he was in my wife's class, and I worked with or close to him for 30+ years at Boeing. We also traveled to Europe with he and Iris. Lots of fun years.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
