He also gave up golf then, which he had played since he became a caddy at 12, holding a low handicap of 2 and 6 holes-in-one. Gary is survived by his wife of 41 years, Dotty, his sister Diane Williamson (Ken), his daughters Debbie Gallinatti (Mark), Deone Caliguri (Brian), Dawn Torgerson (Damon), Jill Holcomb (Patrick) & sons Gary Jr. (Serena), Mike Stewart (Lisa), 12 grandchildren & 2 great grandchildren.

I have known Gary for well over 50 years, starting with a golf connection with my late husband. They were best of friends, & I was blessed to become his friend too, including his wonderful family. I love them all & am heartbroken for them at the void that is left.
Dotty, you are a gift I didn´t expect when you and Gary married, and I want to express my condolences and support to you always.
Love,
Donna
