He was born May 9, 1951, in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of the late Herbert Charles Slucher and Betty Jean (Blair) Slucher. Gary graduated from Fern Creek High School in Louisville. He was married to his beloved wife, Carol Slucher, for 38 years, and together they built a life filled with love and laughter.
He worked as Chief Canteen Supervisor at the VA Medical Center in Columbia, Missouri, until his retirement in 2012.
Gary was a devoted fan of the University of Kentucky basketball and had a lifelong love for music, especially The Beatles. He also enjoyed fishing, baseball card collecting, and, above all, time spent with his family.
