I guess I'll add my two cents.

Gary was one of the good guys.  We had a lot of good times when the old
Northeast Oklahoma Packet Cluster Group would get together.  I really
enjoyed his collection of Ancient Modulations gear.  Much of which was
like new.  Had ran into him at a hamfest or two in recent years.  He
seemed to be in good health.

He will be missed on many fronts.
