Gary graduated from DeVeaux High School in Niagara Falls, NY and attended Hobart College in Geneva, NY. He then served in the Air Force where he met his wife while stationed at Otis Air Base. He worked as an electrician, assembler/purchaser, and sales manager for underwater equipment.

Gary will be missed by many, but we take comfort in knowing he is now reunited with his loving wife in heaven.
