Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada and a Tucson resident since 1952, Gary attended Rincon High School before launching his successful career in the plumbing business.

Known to all as "Gary the he was a master at his trade and loved his work. His wealth was in all the people that he gained as friends. Helping the "Oldtimers" gave him a special joy. Gary's biggest attribute was his heart, never too busy to help friends. You could always count on Gary being there for you if his old plumbing truck would make it and he asked for nothing in return.

Duct tape, bailing wire and a beer can enabled him to fix anything. His love for Mexico and fishing was only surpassed by his inability to catch the big one! Never willing to let age determine his abilities, he would out ski, out ride anyone. Trips to the lakes with his sons, family and friends resulted in great times and war stories. One of his favorite sayings was "The wheel is turning and you can not slow it down, you can't let go and you can't hold on, you can't go back and you can't stand still, if the thunder don't get you then the lightnin' Gary is survived by his wife, Perry; sons, Dan and Mike; sister, Patti (Jon) Scanlon; brothers, Brian Cubbon, Neil (Diane-Missy) Cubbon; nephews, Matthew, Anthony, Greg, Eric and lan; niece, Tessa.

Remember all that we have been. I now approach the Master's garden gate, It swings wide, for me to walk through. As I enter my final destination, I take with me, all the love Go I forward have received from now, upon your journey, Do not stop, or remain there still; Experience life for the time that you have, I'll be waiting and watching, From Heaven's windowsill written by: Gene Castillo Arrangements by CARRILLO'S TUCSONMORTUARY, INC.

A Tucson man convicted of killing three Pizza Hut employees has been ordered to testify against his co-defendant despite the fact he doesn't want to and his attorneys believe he's incompetent. While Judge Frank Dawley of Pima County Superior Court said Kajornsak "Tom" Prasertphong, 26, may end up being declared incompetent for sentencing purposes, there is no reason to believe he won't be able to "perceive, remember and relate" facts during Christopher By Kim Smith ARIZONA DAILY STAR Prasertphong "Bo" Huerstel's upcoming trial. Huerstel and Prasertphong are accused of fatally shooting Robert Curry, 4 44, Melissa Moniz, 20, and James Bloxham, 17, during a robbery attempt at an East Side Pizza Hut in January Prasertphong 1999. Prasertphong, then 19, and Huerstel, then 17, were both convicted in September 2003 and sentenced to death for Moniz's and Bloxham's murders and to life without parole.

in Curry's death. Huerstel's conviction was overturned and his second trial ended with an acquittal for firstdegree murder and a hung jury on a second-degree murder charge. Prasertphong's death sentence was overturned when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that juries, not judges, should render sentences in death-penalty cases. He is awaiting a new sentencing hearing.

Prosecutors want to put Prasertphong on the stand to testify against Huerstel during his third trial. Prasertphong's attorneys object, saying their experts believe Prasertphong not only is incompetent now, but was incompetent during his 2000 trial. Under the law, someone is deemed incompetent when they don't understand the nature of The deceased are from Tucson unless otherwise noted. Occupations are stated when available.

Dawley agreed Friday to have Prasertphong's competency evaluated for his sentencing but said he doesn't believe such evaluations are needed for witnesses. When Dawley told Prasertphong he must testify, Prasertphong said he wouldn't. "I don't wish to testify.

Period," Prasertphong said. When the judge told him prosecutors couldn't use anything he said against him, Prasertphong replied, "I still refuse to testify." The judge said he would give Prasertphong the chance to provide a deposition instead of testifying at trial. Should Prasertphong refuse to participate in the unscheduled deposition, he could receive a sixmonth jail sentence. According to defense documents, neuro-psychologist Thomas Thompson stated he believes Prasertphong has "impaired social emotional maturity, reasoning and interpersonal skills." For example, Prasertphong told him several times he plans to fly jets for a living and once made $16,000 while competing in Thai martial-arts matches. There is no evidence Prasertphong competed in martial arts, and he failed Air Force entrance exams seven or eight times because of his poor English skills, Thompson said.

Prasertphong doesn't see the "incongruity of his statements and reality," Thompson wrote. In related matters, Dawley postponed Huerstel's Feb. 28 trial at the request of Huerstel's attorneys, who have appealed Dawley's earlier decision not to dismiss the case against him.
