I was shocked and saddened to hear that Gary had passed. We became good friends while working at Maersk tower. We shared a lot of laughs and had some great times while still managing to do our jobs. He was one of the very good guys on the docks. My most sincere condolences to the entire family for your loss. RIP Gary.

Gary was as good of a man as they come, and as good of a friend as well.   I've spent many days "throwing bananas" with Gary in the old days, and in more recent times,  spent many nights walking the Maersk parking lot on breaks talking about life with him.  So often he would speak of you Liliana and Rebekah.  As we walked in the night fog he would tell me what was going on in your lives, things that would frustrate you and things that would bring you joy.  His love for you was huge and unwavering, which I'm sure you know.  I just found out and am in complete shock.  Gary was a close friend to myself and many others.  Its easy to forget about the people who have retired because you just don't see them anymore.  I've been retired for 3 years now and Gary would still send me a text here and there to see how I was doing.  He was just that kind of a person.  He will be incredibly missed.  May God comfort you all with His Holy Spirit.  May the love of those that Gary shared his life with, who have cared about you for a very long time, now comfort you as well.

Sorry for the family loss...
We spent many great years working together..yes..
We had fun!...
I also knew his Dad...another great L.A. Waterfront character....( And.. Another wonderful Union man..)
Adios my friend..until we meet again...
(Rev 21:3,4)

I am at a loss for words! Dear God i ask in your name to hold and comfort Liliana and Rebecca in your arms. My dear sweet friend Gary is now in heaven, complete and whole again. No more suffering. I am in disbelief and still trying to come to terms with the loss of my friend! Father, I know you have it all under control. May the Mattox family have peace and love at this difficult time. God bless the family.
