After his tour he moved to Peoria where he worked for Caterpillar and met his wife. In 1975, they moved back to Table Grove to work on the family farm and raise their daughters. Gary was an avid tennis player, fisherman, hunter, and all around outdoorsman. He's remembered for his great sense of humor and conversations.
