To the Bros family, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I knew and worked with Gary at 3M. I first met Gary as the Chair of the Converting and Coating/Web Handling Minichapters. Gary was an active member sharing his experience, knowledge and leading edge technology from the laboratory he worked in. Whenever I saw him he greeted me with a smile and a friendly greeting.
I had the pleasure of seeing Gary this past August when he attended a RE luncheon on the East side. He was a good man and I enjoyed working with him.
