Gary was a very nice person would give you the shirt off his back if you wanted or needed it. Taught me a lot about scouting and how to camp outdoors no matter what the weather. He will be missed. My the family know how much his was loved by all.

Gary was truly a gift on this earth. His ability to care and help others knew no bounds. He will be missed and remembered for all of the service he provided for his long tenure with Scouting. He helped to shape so many of our youth across Virginia - what an amazing legacy he has left for us and a path to follow.
