Gary married the love of his life Bonnie (Bobbie) Vernelle Jones on August 19, 1960, in Little Rock, Arkansas.  They shared 51 wonderful years together until her passing December 26, 2011.  Gary was a Christian serving as a Deacon and teacher at Nalls Memorial Baptist Church in West Little Rock.  He served in the Army National Guard.  They adopted infant son Shaun Alan Sitton five days after his birth May 30, 1970, and Shaun died two days after Gary.
