Gary Walton Obituary
Gary married Robin Maly on Valentine's Day in 1998. He was a loving husband, supportive father and dedicated grandpa, "G-pa", who enjoyed many boating adventures with the whole family, playing racquetball, bowling and playing in a men's softball league with his sons, sons-in-law and stepsons. He was a member of the Rotary Club, Riverview Yacht Club and the Exchange Club of Toledo.
He is survived by his wife, Robin; children, Kirk Evans, Dawn (Scott) Coleman, Shelley (Michael) Provenza, Heidi (Tom) Myers, Kristin (Tony) Torio, Jessica (Jason) Cole, Erik (Katie) Maly, and Keith (Mandy) Maly; 14 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and his cousin, Duane (Kathy) Walton. He is preceded in death by his parents, and sister, Carolyn Anderson.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to everyone at the Merit House for their compassion and wonderful care they provided Gary with in the last several months.
