Couldn't believe it when I heard it. I've knew Jason Somes since early 2000 (worked in the aircraft industry), real stand up guy himself, hard to deal with for sure. Haven't talked with Jason in a long time, but I hear he's doing ok.

I was also a flagger for Gary. What a man. I will never forget him and the lessons of life that he taught me almost daily while getting ready for the night. Gary you were a great man.

I worked for Gary in the early 90s as his flagger while he cropdusted in area of Homedale, Idaho. He was a good man and the news of his death is very sad indeed. Best wishes to his family, and may he rest in peace.
