Gary was larger than life. He had a big heart and helped anyone who needed it. He never met a stranger, in fact made friends wherever he traveled. His sense of humor brightened many lives.

He loved golfing, hunting, biking, kayaking and spending time with family and friends. Gary was a bargain hunter and always got his money's worth! Gary was creative, he combined hunting and woodworking to make unique pieces of art and happily gave them to family and friends. He even created a ground blind from an old outhouse! His smile and laughter will be missed by all who knew him.
