Gerald Gire Obituary
Gary was an overall nice guy, very low keyed that had a unique sense of humor. He was a lovable man that was very friendly and above all, lived to take care of his beloved Peggy. He was a hard worker that enjoyed antique restoration, buying and selling and wood working in his shop. He was a 1969 graduate of Tuscola High School.
He is survived by his beloved wife of over 37 years, Peggy (Blaney) Gire of Vallonia, Indiana, one daughter, Samantha Hawley of Crystal Lake, Illinois and one step daughter, Jackie Aldridge and her husband David of Peoria, Illinois. One sister, Backy Babbs and her significant other, Bill Oberland of Armstrong, Illinois and one grand daughter, Allison Aldridge.
In keeping with his wishes, the family has chosen cremation.
Friends are invited to leave condolence messages for the family at www.christensenfamilyfuneral.com.
