toe shoes Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Indiana Wrestling lost a great man yesterday. If you have been around Columbus Wrestling since the late 1960s you know who Gary Walker is. Gary was one of the first men in Columbus wrestling history to place in the State finals back in the 1960s. Gary went on to Wrestle at the University of Cincinnati. A tragic accident put Gary into a wheel chair but that did not stop him from giving back to the sport he loved. Gary was an asst. coach for Columbus East for years. Great mentor to many great young men. The new wrestling room was just named for him. Gary you will be missed and you had a great impact on many men. More then you will ever know. RIP my good friend, you will be missed Dan Marsh Columbus East Grad 2000 Columbus North Asst. Coach 2007-2010 IHSAA Official 2001-present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sad news. Gary was a fixture at every Columbus East event I can recall from my years as a wrestler and now a coach. I'm sure his impact on that program will continue to be felt for many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
