Gary was a gentle loving soul, a hard worker, a selfless man. Gary was a man of few words and worked hard to provide for his greatest treasures in life, his children. He could be funny and loved giving a good scare. Gary loved working with his hands, woodworking and building and creating many projects and loved John Wayne movies. He loved going fishing, camping, and helping others and having a great time. He was known for his devotion to his family. His greatest joy was his family and spending time and playing with his grandkids. He instilled in his children to work hard, to serve others and to give to others.
