My heartfelt sympathy to Gary's Family. Gary was a dear friend and one of the kindest people you would ever meet. I worked with Gary at Westinghouse/Sundstrand for 23 years, and then at Honda for 17 years. His work ethic was exceptional. He loved everybody and never knew a stranger. He always spoke so fondly of his daughters, and their families with such pride. Gary was one special guy, and will be missed a great deal. I pray for your family, and hope you find comfort knowing how much he loved all of you.
