Aside from his enormous academic contributions, Gary enjoyed life off the HMC campus as well. He was an avid golfer and cyclist, two activities I had occasion to share with him on early mornings (breakfast burrito golf) and Saturdays (Staff/Faculty Bike Rides). I trust that he, Dick Olson, and Sheldon Wettack have already played several rounds together, with many more to come. Keep that swing smooth and easy, Gary.

I will always remember Gary’s enthusiasm, energy, and drive. He did so much for the Harvey Mudd community as a whole and for me personally. He got me interested in economics and entrepreneurship, and he helped me gain a footing in my career after graduation. He always went above and beyond to support his students and his impact was felt far and wide. Thank you for everything, Gary, and I’ll miss you dearly.

Evans was always willing to go above and beyond for our students. His presence was fierce and will not be forgotten.

Gary exemplified how amazing Harvey Mudd College can be, and how amazing someone can be at Harvey Mudd College. From his dynamic lecturing style for students, to his persuasiveness at faculty meetings, to his larger than life personality and presence in the AHS hallway, we all had so much to learn and emulate from Gary. On top of all I gained from him as a colleague, I still drive the car the he sold me. Thanks for everything Gary!

Gary was a great fit for Harvey Mudd. Like the college, he was idiosyncratic, a true original. His passion for economics and entrepreneurship gave him real depth as a colleague, but his wide-ranging interests in other areas—from film, to literature, to gardening—gave him the kind of breadth we seek to foster in our students, and that breadth made him a wonderful conversationalist to have on the hall. There was always a good chat to be had just inside Professor Evans’s office. I miss that.
