Gary Perks (1946-2021) A Friend Who Cared About Others Only a few people over my time as an adult have made a difference in my life, my career, Gary Perks was one of them. Gary Perks is a name that today, few may know. We lost Gary in early March 2021 and our turfgrass industry lost an early influential giant. PG 26 | APRIL 2021
