I worked with Gary at Cal/West Seeds. Spent many hours every year with him counting all the inventory back then. Gary on the forklift moving product to be weighted and me writing down all the info. Nice guy friendly face. A memory I have of him was after his wife had passed away he told me he left his christmas tree decorated and just wrapped it up and stored it away in the garage every year. I found that pretty amusing.
Rest in Peace Gary.
