Beyond sports, Gary carried a quieter talent, he knew how to play the piano from a very young age, a gift that surprised and delighted those who were lucky enough to hear him play. Gary had a long career and successful profession in the automobile industry in the Greater Pittsburgh Area as a transportation consultant (car salesman). Gary will always be remembered for his friendliness, genuine empathy, and sense of humor. Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Jerome & Mardelle (Levin) Friedberg; brother Stephen, nephew, David, uncles, Dave, Sam, Lou, & Al Levin; aunts, Barbara & Leah Levin, Bea (Harry) Kruger, Gertrude Friedberg, Dorothy (Samuel) Segelin, and Belle (Leon) Simon.
