“Ben Gary was one of a kind. A talented, tenacious Landscape Architect who left the world a much better place. I worked for Ben at Moriece & Gary and he taught me the ropes of the business. His Professional projects included the Southwest Corridor Project and hundreds more. Suffice to say a very accomplished Landscape Architect who never seemed concerned with recognition but kept moving forward to the next challenge. A life well lived. My Sympathy to Toby, Mel, Heather, Brian & Grandchildren.”
