So sorry to hear of Gary's passing, a fellow pilot told me recently. Will always remember how much Gary helped out the scouts of Troop 10 with labor, use of the family car and trailer and time. Especially the long canoe trip to the Canada wilderness. I always thought of him as a great father and friend. Wishing Carol and " the boys" remember all the happy memories of Gary.

Everyone says the same thing about Gary, “one of the nicest guys I ever knew”. My sentiments are the same. I flew with Gary at the hospital for many years. I always enjoyed his calm demeanor, his passion for aviation and his work ethic. He always spoke proudly of his family. RIP Gary and enjoy heaven with your earthly ailments all fixed.

Condolences to Connie and Family. Gary could always add some humor that made us chuckle in class. Teaching me to water ski--taking us on our 1st. motorcycle trip--flying us out the Stickney landing strip gave us great memories. Always grateful.

Gary was a wonderful man and a true gentleman. I was honored to have spent many years flying with Gary during my time flying for the hospital. Gary's life and legacy impacted all who flew along side him. May the good Lord welcome Gary home and comfort his family in his time of passing.

I am heartbroken, Gary was such a remarkable person, and I admired him so much. He inspired me with his courage and curiosity. He explored the world, from the depths, scuba diving, to the heights, with his heroic work as a pilot. I will always remember him fondly, and cherish our time together. He is now at peace in heaven, free from any suffering, my love and prayers go out to all who mourn him.

Ahhh Gary. You were always one of the brightest smiles in the room. SUCH a kind-hearted Big Brother to Deb. You will be missed so much, by so many, on this earth. Special prayers for Connie, Deb, and Gary's 3 sons. Rest in perfect peace, Gary.

We met Connie and Gary in Texas in 2014, through a Roadtrek group. They were a sweet couple and we enjoyed visiting with them. Although we didn't see each other often, we kept in touch through Facebook. I am very sorry for your loss, Connie and family. Sending big hugs, Jan
