Vicki, So sorry to hear about your loss of Gary. I worked with him while working in the rollstock receiving department at RRD. Also, he was part of the response teams when I made two 9-1-1 calls years ago. He was a calming presence to me then, and such a great guy. I know he will be missed terribly. May God be with you during this difficult time.

My condolences to his family I didn't know but I knew him from being part of our family. By that I mean his RRD-LSC family,I worked with Gary for 32 years,you think you know someone by being around them that long but you truly don't. I witnessed Gary tending to some children that their family was in an accident, he was nothing less than wonderful,that's when I feel like I learned to know him more. You will be missed my friend but I'm glad you have no more pain. Till we meet again.
