I worked with Gary at XO Communications. I sincerely admired Gary for his dedication to preserving our department's data integrity through properly engineered database structures. He would never allow anything to go into production half-baked.
He was full of wisdom, too. When I started, I was assigned the seat right behind him and was able to listen to everything he said. Something he didn't know until recently was that I had been keeping a private log of some of his best quotes. He loved the idea and wanted me to write a book. He was one of a kind. I doubt it will ever happen, but if I hear the same type of condescending brilliance pour out of someone else's mouth when discussing a report with a customer, I'll think of Gary and smile. I'll miss him.

You will be missed my friend. I have known Gary since he was hired by Concentic. We have had many heartfelt conversations over the years. Gary was a great person who loved HAM radio, guns, music and his dog Toby. We also enjoyed conversations about cars, motorcycles and family. I will miss you Gary.

In a word, stalwart. Gary had an uncompromising appreciation for logic and the uncanny ability to find and inject humor in dry, technical discussions. I'm a better person for having known and worked with him. He will be missed.

I'll miss Gary - when working with him at XO he always seemed quite serious, but then he'd say something unexpectedly funny and you'd realize he wasn't quite as serious as you initially thought - especially when talking about databases.
He had a sharp mind and an even sharper wit.
