Gary and Paula loved camping at Boot Lake and traveling across the country. One of his favorite trips was Route 66 with their close friends Bob and Mickie Rohan. He also enjoyed many trips with family to Arizona, Florida, Yellowstone, and Tennessee. On May 29, 2019, Gary was honored to be on the Mission 50 Old Glory Honor Flight to Washington D.C. with his friend Bob Rohan.
