He was born on April 5, 1951, in Waverly, NY, the son of the late John Eltringham and Hilda (Brown) Coe.
Gary was a Veteran of the US Navy, serving during the Vietnam War. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed Rock and Roll Music, NASCAR, and he was avid about watching Penn State and the Philadelphia Eagles.
More than anything, Gary treasured spending time with the love of his life, Karen, up until her passing a year ago. Since then, he carried a broken heart and longed for the day he could be reunited with her. Now, Gary and Karen are together again, eternally in love and peace.
