Avery was a kind and gentle man. One of a kind. I have fond memories of that boyish smile and his playful nature.

I will miss Avery's loving, caring, and kind nature. I always looked forward to our cribbage games when/where ever our adventures took us. I'am very grateful to have known such a wonderful person.

Thanks Avery, for your kindness and generosity. I can hear your laugh (just as unique as you). Thanks for the great stories and the practical jokes, and of course, for always keeping the wine glasses full.

I remember Avery with fondness and gratitude. A class act!

I enjoyed listening to Avery's stories, full of mischievous pranks and unique solutions to peculiar problems. It's clear Avery was very proud of his association with USGS...he is Mr. USGS.
