I want to express my sympathies to Gary’s family and friends, I met Gary in 1995 at the diesel shop at West O. Gary would tell about the times he worked with my father. Gary also helped me learn how to preform the duties of a cab carpenter, it was a interesting job, Gary help a lot especially with the sewing machine. Gary was a good guy.
