I did not meet him, but when I started serving as officer on Universidad de Oriente SPE Student Chapter (Barcelona, Venezuela), the group of officers (including me) at that time had access to a lot of books and proceedings he donated to our chapter years ago. Within these year I´ve realized what he did.. I had only a short email talk with him and he let me know about his SPE activities, specially during his presidency in 1999. Among others, he mentioned three SPE pioneers in Venezuela: Adafel Rincón, Simón Antúnez and Juan Vicente Roger. Men like this encourage young members to continue expanding SPE mission and values, and that´s what I´ve been doing since 2003. RIP Mr Gustavo.

I had the opportunity to team up with him in several committees at the Sarkeys Energy Center. I will be always in debt with him for all his friendship and support toward getting my PhD degree and his recommendation letter during my US immigration process. Abel Chacon, Houston, USA.

Dr. Inciarte did a great job at Intevep and also as a SPE member and SPE president. His love, dedication and support of research and development were some of his great characteristics that are not commonly seen in managers and executives in the oil industry.

Not necessarily for his size but his overwhelming freindship. He tried to get me a job in Porta la Cruz, Venezuela before the political fallout. He bought me my first Chilian wine in Amsterdam! He guided SPE in good fashion. I'm proud to have known him and to have called him my friend. - SCWehner, Midland, TX If you ever met Gus you would never forget him.
