I sat next to Gary for the first 4-5 years I worked at Caterpillar. He was a great guy to have in my corner for a young man like myself. He could be ornery, but it was always kind hearted, and really made me feel like a part of a family. So sorry to hear about his passing, he made quite a difference to me in my life going from a kid to adult. He is missed.
Jill, sorry to hear the passing of Gary. Don't remember who I was talking to recently, but lived up by you, and asked if they knew you. They informed me Gary passed. Miss our weekend meets at the resturant at Main and Green.
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember working with Gary in the Decatur Cat engineering office. He was a great guy to work with. I will keep your family in my prayers in this time of loss.
Met Gary through the Thursday debating and eating group at Bill P's place. Always a great person to be around and a gentleman. Condolences to his family.
