Gary and I did a lot of growing up together and were best friends from Junior High through College. We had only recently been back in touch with each other, and it is with great sadness that I heard of his passing. If I know Gary, he is already busy modifying, improving and making things go faster in Heaven. Rest In Peace my friend.

Gary, see ya later Brother. We talked of sprituality. So, see you again, just not yet. Craig Potter

I know how hard it is to lose someone.My condolenses to all of Gary family and friends. All the Boeing emploees will miss him. God be with him.

 Gary was a very dear friend and I just don't have the words in me to express my feelings concerning our loss of him, maybe in time I'll be able to say something but at the present time I'm incapable of that.

Gary was a wonderful human being with very kind heart. I had very nice experience working with him for last two years. He was always ready to take challenges, supportive and understanding. I will miss him and extend my condolences to his family. May god rest his soul in peace and give his family and friends courage to bear this invaluable loss.

I worked with Gary during the 767 retrofit and early V5 adoption, he was great working thru all the issues with a smile or a laugh and helped promote sharing our new discoveries with everyone. I remember his stories about trying to find the owner of the dog that showed up at their home and then when no one claimed him, both he and his wife happliy decided to provide a home to this very large dog. He will be missed, my deepest condolences to his family.

Gary was always very easy to work with with and very helpful and cooperative. I enjoyed trading dog stories with him. My deepest condolences to his family. Sincerely, Steven Altman

Gary was very helpful and he always had a smile on his face. I enjoyed working with him - he will be missed. He and his family will be in my thoughts.

Gary was a good man, filled with passion, honesty, and integrity. My heart goes out to his close friends and loved ones for their loss.

Gary helped me out with Starry Skies in its early beginnings. Enjoyed working with him as he always offered help and support and always had ideas/suggestons for inside & outside Boeing challenges. My condolences to his family. Sincerely, Brian Lennon

Very supportive and always willing to help, surely we'll miss you Gary.

I have worked with Gary for many years. he was always ready, willing and able to support any work that we needed help with. Gary was instrumental in design and release of stowage bins and I remember in particular his help with the 777 56 in stowage in CATIA V5 and MBD as an early V5 adopter. I will miss him and extend my condolences to his family. He will be missed and made a difference every day to those he worked with. Sincerely, Jonathan Robbins.

I've only known Gary for the past few years and feel like I'm really loosing a friend. Both of our shifts started early at Boeing and many a times we would discuss the hot topics of the day both outside work and inside. Usually he would end the conversation with a laugh. I'm sad that he didn't have more time to enjoy life after work. I will miss you.

God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be, so He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come with Me." You didn't deserve what you went through and so He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful: He only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping so peaceful and free from pain, I could not wish you back to suffer that again.    Kelly Cains

Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.  John Lennon

Gary we all will see you again some day, when our time comes,save me a spot....

Even though we have never met, being married to my first cousin must have been a blessing.......God speed and may the angels watch over you, as they will Bea.........lurene mensch
