Gary was a wonderful musician, inspirational educator, philanthropist and mentor. A pioneering founder of International Society of Bassists, we were so honored to call Gary a D'Addario Artist.
Markus Lawrenson (D'Addario Orchestral Global Artist and Market Development Manager) received an email from Gary only a few months before his death, in which he recounted playing "my daily hour of Bach as I watch the sunrise."
This sentence reveals some of the warmth, generosity and zest for life that so many people in the bass-playing community around the world will remember Gary for.
D'Addario send their condolences to Gary's family, friends and colleagues who miss him dearly.
