I did not know about this until this evening. Most probably won't know who he was. He was one of the folks on the show Port Protection of Alaska

We really enjoy that show. Especially my wife.

Gary was a many decade resident of Port Protection. Even at 75 years old he continued to fish, hunt, trap and live the life he loved.

Sounds like he may have been killed while working on his propane water heater that exploded and burned his home down. His old Dog "Trapper" survived. Not sure about his old cat.

This saddens me as Gary seemed like a great man. Someone who did it his way. The thing about him and the few residents there is they band together to help one another because that is what you do.

RIP brother. You will be missed.

The season starts on Jan. 18th and I assume Gary will be a big part of that episode.

I purposely posted in the lounge and not the lair.

Interesting fella for sure.

The dog was adopted by another resident but I believe has since died .

Sad news....I liked him and his escapades.
