Gary’s happy place was his man-cave where he enjoyed spending time watching his favorite teams. Gary had also been an avid golfer over the years.
Gary lived as most men do when they are young, filled with hope and the dream that his life would be long, meaningful, and filed with purpose. His dreams became reality. He was deeply loved by his family as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and cousin. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren cherished him, saying that he was the best father and grandfather that anyone could possibly have. Gary returned the love he received in full measure. He will be sorely missed, yet forever remembered in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him as being a very good man, a man who freely gave of himself and genuinely cared for everyone. His memory is now a treasure to be cherished always.
