What an amazing and unique path Gary's life took, with wide-ranging curiosity and energy. His constant humor and creativity stood out. Just as excited about research projects this year as when he was a grad student.
I deeply mourn the loss of my friend and mentor, @GaryCharness . He was so supportive, had so much humor, and sincere humanity. I will miss him so much. RIP.
