Gary and I started at Whayne at the same time.  For many of those early years, we were partners in crime..   Played a lot of pranks, had a lot of fun but accomplished a lot building the warehouses in Ashland, Pikeville, Hazard.  We worked hard and played hard.  I could make a movie about our shenanigans....
Sure will miss that crazy smile.
I pray that God has given him peace.
Bless you all!

Gary was the consummate salesman. You knew he would have all the bases covered and you would be well taken care of. He and John made a great team. I know the industry will miss his him as well as many family and friends. Prayers to his family in this time of need. We will all miss him.

Gary's dedication, hard work, and remarkable achievements leave an indelible mark on all who knew him.
Gary began his career in the parts warehouse, where he quickly became known for his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to excellence. His work ethic and positive attitude were evident from the start, making him a valued member of the team.
As Gary's career progressed, he transitioned to a role as a machinery sales representative. In this capacity, he proved to be exceptionally successful, leveraging his knowledge of the industry and his natural ability to connect with clients. His success in sales was not just about numbers; it was about the relationships he built and the trust he earned from his colleagues and customers.
Gary's journey from the warehouse to a top-performing sales representative is a testament to his talent, perseverance, and passion for his work.

I only knew Gary professionally. He was a stalworth in the construction equipment industry. His name and reputation were held in high regard. Well wishes to his friends and family.

Gary was more than a sales rep to our family excavating business. A big smile was his calling card and a laugh was his normal conversation.   We met while still younger men and I fully respected his sales ethics and also cherished him as a personal friend. Godspeed my friend you will be missed.  Condolences to his family and friends also.

Our deepest sympathies to all of Hedges family. We are praying for all of you in this tough and challenging time.

I have many fond memories of Gary and working with him, knowing him. A great attitude, quick smile and taking care of the, no his customers was his daily approach. I had great respect for him.
