Gary proudly served his country in the United States Air Force at Nellis AFB where he maintained F-111 instrument panels. He worked as a machine tool sales engineer. Gary was a member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church where he served as head usher and volunteered. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, very adventurous, and a member of the International Harvester 4-Wheelers Club. Gary loved Veteran’s Day. He enjoyed stained glass and was a handyman in his retirement. Gary was very resourceful and a modern-day “MacGyver.” He was president of the Potter’s Bridge HOA and volunteered with a lot of maintenance projects.
