So sorry to hear Gary left too soon, I met him at Trials, even though he was into Obedience and I Rally, our paths crossed at training at MDKC. Loved seeing his dogs work and how Sandy did the Rally part for his dogs. RIP Gary and go enjoy time again with loves past

I didn’t know Gary well, but I appreciated and admired him. He was always available to lend a hand and help build up those around him.
If the world was full of Gary’s it would be a better place ❣️

I met Gary many decades ago. I judged him for many decades and he always had the happiest dogs in the entire world! He was truely dogs best friend! When Gary would come to my training hall, it was some of the best times training dogs. He is with his love of his life now, Judy and they are surrounded by the goldens that are waiting at the rainbow bridge. Wish I could have seen the reunion. Hugs to all his family and friends, we will all miss him forever.

It was always a good day at an obedience trial if Gary was there – stories to tell, laughs to be had (always) and usually a bit of good advice. He will be missed by many.

Barb Boyer says
Gary was definitely one of the best. He was an excellent obedience trainer and I enjoyed spending time training my Australian Shepherds with him. He could be very serious, but also very funny. I hope that you and Judy are back together again. Sending hugs to family and friends.

To Gary’s family; Gary was one of a kind. I met him many years ago of course at a dog show. This was the beginning of seeing him at every show. I am not the only one who would have heard so many of his stories. I judged him and competed with him numerous times whether it was during or after he had shown it was always a hoot. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t smile if Gary’s name was mentioned. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.
Our sincere condolences to his family.
