GARY DARLAGE Obituary
Gary Lee Darlage of West Chester, Ohio, passed away on December 18, 2022.
Gary grew up on a farm in Southern Indiana and attended St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church. Gary graduated from Columbus North High School in 1964 and Purdue University in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management. Gary married his high school sweetheart, Linda, and they enjoyed 54 years together.
Gary was drafted and served at Fort McCoy, WI, with distinction as a computer programming specialist. Gary worked in IT for 30 years at Proctor and Gamble. Upon retirement, Gary served the Lutheran church and his community over many years. He enjoyed gardening, spending time with his dog, watching motorsports, traveling, and solving the daily Jumble.
Gary is remembered for his love of family, integrity, fierce independence, and mechanical mind. He could often be found helping a neighbor in need or smoking a cigar in his garage.
Gary is survived by his wife, a sister, four children, six grandchildren and preceded in death by his parents, a nephew, and a grandniece. A memorial service celebrating Gary's life will be held at Bear Creek Baptist Church in Westport, Indiana, on May 20, 2023.

I was saddened to see that Gary passed away. I worked with him at P&G. He was the IT manager of our career planning system. He always added some fun and humor to our workday, and I have many memories that bring a smile. To this day, whenever anyone says "See you tomorrow" I always hear Gary in my head, saying "If the Good Lord is willing". My condolences to Linda and Family.

My condolences to Linda and the family for this loss. I did not know Gary very well, but whenever I saw him across the years, I always remember he had such a warm, kind hearted, and welcoming smile. I know he is greatly missed.

Gary was the best neighbor anybody could ever have. He was a happy, smiling individual who was a friend to everyone he met. He was always doing something around the house, either cutting the grass, trimming his shrubs, working in the garden, gathering up leaves or tinkering in the garage. He was mechanically inclined and well versed with computers. He helped me immensely by repairing miscellaneous items around my house and in picking out a new computer which he set up and got running. I will miss him greatly.
