Gary was a good friend and co-worker. We met when I moved to Andrews AFB in 1976 to be a computer programmer. For a while he was my supervisor. We became good friends while I was stationed there. When I was transferred away from Andrews AFB, we maintained contact with at least an annual Christmas card. Just found out about his death today, August 29, 2020. My wife and I send our heartfelt sympathies to Vickie and the family.
