Gary E. Rudisill, 61, completed his transition to his eternal home peacefully on June 27, 2024, at his home, surrounded by the warmth and love of his family.

Gary worked as a roofer for 25 years and, most recently, at Electromet Corporation in Hagerstown, MD. Gary was known for his handyman skills, which led to many home projects for him and his wife. He was passionate about travel and enjoyed cruising with his wife and friends.
