Gary Driscoll Obituary
July 4, 1950 - Dec. 2, 2017
Gary W. Driscoll, 67, of Danbury, passed away peacefully at his home on December 2, 2017 after a short illness. Gary was born in Bridgeport, CT. His career was in auto sales, most recently employed by McMahon Ford in Norwalk, CT, where he enjoyed a close relationship with his co- workers. Gary was an avid NASCAR Racing fan who couldn't wait for the annual trip to Dover with his brothers-in-law. He was also a very good woodworker, creating beautiful Adirondack chairs and a special cradle that his nieces and nephews slept in. As they grew they fondly referred to him as "Uncle G".
Gary was married to and is survived by his loving and devoted wife Victoria (Coladarci) for a wonderful 32 years. He always referred to her as "Deedee", his special pet name for her. Gary is also survived by two sons, Gary Jr. and William, as well as his sister Sharon Heffler of Texas, and his brother Kevin Driscoll of Florida, several brother and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Gary was predeceased by his loving parents, Lois and Donald.
Family will be accepting condolences on Sunday, December 10, 2017 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. To light a candle or share a memory, please visit www.thegreenfuneralhome.com.

Dear Vicky, today January 24th 2018 I called McMahon to talk to Gary. The receptionist told me that he had passed away. I was stunned. Gary was so special. I realize that Mcmahon could not reach out to Gary's customers in time for his funeral. Could you please email me the cemetery name so Kathy and I can pay our respects.
With Warm Regards, Stephen Sasloe [email protected]

Gary will be missed by all of us at McMahon Ford. He sure was an integral part of the place and a wealth of knowledge. Gary was the "go to" guy for fellow employees and customers. All of us will miss him dearly! Rest in peace Gary!

The good lord has another great person with him now. I will never forget his smile and laughter. He was one of nicest and honest persons I know. Like Gary always said, buy a Ford.
Love, The Cyr family, Wilton, CT.
