I have known Gary since we went to kindergarten together in Eudora in 1961, we were great pals all the way through grade 12, playing all sports together, even played in a little rock band during high school --and definitely stirred up a ton of mischief as teenagers.... We remained friends all through the years after school. It is true that he was indeed one of the good guys. I have thought of him often and especially the last 5 years. I was so glad I was able to have lunch with him last fall. He will be missed by all of us who knew him well. My condolences to Stephanie and his entire family. I am in Florida this week and so sad I will not be able to attend the funeral, but please know I will be thinking of Gary and the entire family and will never forget him.

I have known Gary for 15+ years. You will not find a better leader or educator in the fire service. He is missed.
