I had no idea that Gary had passed away, and only happened upon this today. Gary often ran with me around Wellington Harbour when I first moved to Wellington in 1980, and became a good friend. I enjoyed his wry humour and mildly eccentric ways. He was a very handy runner too!

Gary's contribution to children's athletics, particularly Karori Athletics will be sorely missed. Gary was a great bloke with a dry wit. Watching from the sidelines with Gary was always an amusing experience. Thanks for everything Gary. RIP.

RIP Gary. It was such a shock to hear of your passing. You were always a breath of fresh air in Wellington's running community, and your contributions back into your sport and to the business community will be missed by so many.

Gary and I shared a flat in College Street and Stanley Ave Palmerston North back in the early 70's. Many a morning I was woken by Gary trying to kick start his old Jawa before heading of to milk the cows prior to his day at University. Alas I lost contact back then. I am saddened to hear of Gary's sudden death and wish to offer my condolences to his family and friends.
He was a great bloke and a real character

Have many memories of the work environment, a very committed individual who did speak his mind and appreciated others who did the same. I enjoyed working with Gary at NZDB, and will hold the memories close.

Gary was always his own man. In the work environment he told you how it was not what you might want it to be. I was very fortunate to talk to him recently at Newtown Park
