In Memory of a Special Friend

A Tribute to a Special Friend
In Memory of Gary Hawes
February 14, 1939 -- May 7, 2014



The Salt Lake Tribune headlined the tragic story of Gary Hawes with the title: 
Former U-2 spy plane pilot, flight student killed in Utah crash. 

The following statements are of the same amazing man:

The Salt Lake Tribune:
He flew recon missions over Cuba, Southeast Asia in ‘70s. 
 
My own title:
He volunteered to help a boy with autism in church every time we visited
over the course of about 15 years.
 
 
Words cannot express our sorrow over Gary's sudden and tragic death.  His wife Suzan is a beautiful example of love, support and warmth.  There is no dout that when Joshua greeted Gary when he stepped into the eternities with a huge hug and high five.  And I'm sure that Joshua said "Thank you Gary ... for loving me, chasing me and laughing with me."
