Gary was a great friend. I worked with him at Flightsafety and would go out to eat with him often after he retired. He was so popular with our clients. Gary was a great friend.
We will miss him and his great sense of humor. He was a good friend to my husband Mike Thomas whom he worked with at Flight Safety and his brother Steve. Rest in peace.
Gary was a class act and a pillar of our Beechjet and Premier programs over the years. Always kind with a quick wit. We were lucky to have him in our FlightSafety family.-Mike Wallace DOT
