Very sorry for the loss to the trapping community. Gary was my instructor in 2013. I learned many things from him. His lure knowledge was exceptional!! God speed my friend!

I really can’t remember which one… Holds so much more significance now. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/04/full-4200-291738-img_0166.jpeg)

I had the honored meet Gary at the Wyoming Trappers Convention where we visited about catching coyotes something we both enjoy a great deal . Rest well, my heart felt condolences to his family and friends which there are many !
You're friend along the snare line . Allan

Gary and I crossed paths in the mid80's the first time. He was not only one of the most knowledgeable trappers, lure makers and sportsmen's I have ever known but also extremely active in the trapping regulation arena. He served as Vice-President of the FTA for decades, officer of the North Dakota FTA and several other ventures. We served on the FTA Officers board for countless hours of meetings. Information exchange between the two of us seemed to be a one-way exchange. He so often shared his knowledge to trappers or politicians. Rest in Peace Gary! Enjoy those campfires with the other great's up above! Roy

It is true, sadly. The FTA was notified late last night. always kind to everybody. the FTA has surely lost a great mentor. Dang, I will miss him.
