I met Gary some 15 years ago. Over the years, he was always an inspiration and sounding board. When I first met him, I was fascinated by the type of research he did. How he managed to just take everyday things and turn it into a research project. I recall his entertaining and fun presentations and keynotes.
When I learnt the news of his passing, I was as shocked as everyone else. It was hard to believe that I will never hear his sharp chirps and quick jokes ever again. I am grateful for what I could learn from him and grateful for the time he spent with us.
Gary, the gentleman of Computer Science, will be missed by us all.
