I will miss my golfing buddy - he tried his best to keep me calm. If only I could have his outlook for golf and for life. My sincerest sympathies to Jan and family.

Gary and I worked in Amoco's PRC together in the late 80's. He was a true example of a positive and knowledgeable employee along with being a true friend and someone you could easily communicate with.
He was a one of a kind person who will be greatly missed.

I would like to extend my condolences to Gary's family. It is appropriate that you held a celebration of his life as he was just that kind of a guy - always cheerful and thinking of the 'other guy.'

I had the privilege to have Gary as a board member of the credit union I had worked at for almost 15 years. Gary was a mentor, leader, and assisted my sytaff and me at not only becoming excellent professionals but to be a good person, husband and parent.
You will be greatly missed.

My condolences on the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. As a member of the Billy Goat attendees I remember Gary as a good friend, fellow worker and ball player. May his memory always bring you peace and comfort.

Gary and I worked in the Cost and Stocks Dept of American Oil in the early sixties. GG was always a friend with an ever present smile. God bless him and his family. He remained that way thru out his life ... the world is minus one good person.
