Gary Golan Obituary
Gary was preceded in death by his loving parents, Manuel and Evelyn Golan, and his brother, Larry F. Golan. He is survived by his devoted wife, Kim Golan, and his cherished sister, Barbara J. Walker.
A proud Marine Corps veteran, Gary served his country with distinction and carried the values of the Corps throughout his life. His commitment to service was further exemplified through his active involvement with the Marine Corps Bulk Fuel Association.
An avid fisherman, Gary found solace and joy in the tranquility of nature. Gary's legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and a life well-lived. As we bid farewell to Gary, we take comfort in the countless memories and the enduring impact he has left on our hearts.
