Longtime Sitkan Gary John Coty Dies at Age 67

Gary John Coty

 

Gary John Coty died May 12 at home with friends nearby, as was his wish. The longtime Sitka resident was 67.

He will be cremated, and his ashes scattered in Sitka Sound. The date for a memorial is yet to be decided.

 

Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
