Upon retirement, he and Veronica split their time between Bonita Springs-where he was a member of The Colony Golf and Country Club and First Presbyterian Church of Bonita-and Highlands, N.C.-where he was a member of Cullasaja Club and an affiliate member of First Presbyterian of Highlands.

Dear Veronica and family, I just learned of Gary's passing and want to tell you how sorry I am. Gary was my boss for many years and my son, Adam, coach for tball. His love for his family was apparent every day.
