We were never competitors he was always number one.
In the 1980’s Ian McRae ex 2SM and myself ex 2UW all worked together in the 2UE building. I had the pleasure in 2004 of sitting in Gary and Dorothy's lounge room at Sandcrox/Waughope and having a ton of laughs.
I will miss you Gary
You were always the winner, then you did have a 20 year start.
Malcolm T Elliott 2UW-2UE
I am so very shocked and saddened to hear the news about Gary. He was not only a TRUE Legend, but also a Truly Wonderful person. I am very proud to say that we were good friends, and shared many great times together with Dorothy and the family when they lived in Turramurra.
I saw Gary on TV while he was doing the 2UE 90th Birthday broadcast, and I thought right then that I Must call him and Dorothy...just goes to show that we must act on those impulses, or forever regret not doing so in time, as I am doing right now.
I will be there at St. Mary's to join Dorothy and the family, and Gary's myriad friends and admirers, to bid Gary a great farewell. Rob E.
