Gary was the first policeman I spoke to in NY. I respected him and enjoyed his company. I remember he liked running and he liked to have a laugh. I will miss him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, in the mercy of God, rest in Peace. Amen.
I got to know Gary through The Northern Ireland Peace Building Programme, when we were in New York. I only knew him briefly but I remember him as being one of the nicest people I had met while I was there. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to Gary's wife Sandra and his children and to let you know we are thinking of you and my your heart and soul find peace and comfort during this difficult time. God Bless
I was placed with Gary on the work placement component of the PeaceBuilders course and travelled all over New York with him via the Subway.
Gary stood out for me on the programme and struck me as a big gentleman, always ready to listen and take on board other points of view; but also never slow to give his own opinions (and more importantly take the time to explain them).
I know from my converstaions with him that he was very hopeful for the future.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with his wife Sandra and Gareth and Sarah.
God Bless

I met Gary on the peace builders programme in newyork he was a gentle giant and loved his early morning run,i tried the run in newyork with gary i was beat out he told me he was fighting cancer and was doing well never thought i would have seen this coming Gary i will never forget you and i will have a starbucks for you cheers Gary you were a great man. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to Gary's wife Sandra and his children and to let you know we are thinking of you
I knew Gary having worked with him for a few short periods between 1991 and 1995.
I was delighted to be reacquainted with him through the Peace Builders programme. I enjoyed his company very much at the conferences at home and abroad.
A gentleman with a word for everyone but more importantly the patience to listen to others when they needed to be heard.
We are all much the poorer for his passing.
I offer my thoughts and prayers to all of Gary's family, particularly Sandra, Gareth and Sarah. God bless you all.
Very shocked to hear of Gary's untimely death. Visited several Business Improvement Districts in New York with him in Oct 2004 and he was keen to bring some examples/ideas back to Enniskillen. Was a gentleman, missed his family as we "shopped" for presents to take back home. Pray that Sandra, Gareth and Sarah might know God's comfort at this sad time.

Shocked and saddened to hear of Gary's death. He was a real gentleman and a lovely person. My condolences to his family i hope they can take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and is in a better place.
