I'm passing this unfortunate news along that I got from Rob Satkus. I knew Gary personally even though I had not been in touch with him in the last couple of years. You can do a google search that already has numerous entries concerning his death.

This is an upsetting way to start the day. Ironically, just literally a few days ago, I was wondering how he and his family were doing. I did some chasing for KJRH-TV back in the mid to late 80's. We became friends, and one day, Gary invited me and my family to his home. My kids were real young then, Amber was probably no more than two or so and Leif was just an infant. We hung out and I specifically remembered his VERY HEATED pool he had... it was like, around 100F.
Gary joked about how on cold mornings it create its own climate with a plume of steam that would rise above his neighbourhood.
He was also a God fearing man, he became a dedicated Christian back in the early 90's sometime.. Thanks for the info. as sad as it is.
