Only met Gary once and spoke to him asking for advice on a few occasions quite some years ago. His kind words helped in formulating our discussions to achieve the Part 48 mustering dispensation which endures today, and other issues before that.
He personified a true industry representative and gentleman for whom anything was never too much trouble to attend to.
He, his cobber Dan Tyler and others steered the OZ HAA for many a year and we sure need people as such today to mentor such industry groups.
Anyone overseas would be able to tap into a replay of
last nights ABC 7.30 report for a most fitting and poignant tribute to he and his colleagues.
Deepest sympathies to all families and friends from this little corner of the world.
