Gary Clerc Obituary
Gary was born on August 12, 1942 in Burbank, Calif. to Robert M Clerc III and Nadine Lamdenberger. He was raised by his grandparents, Victor and Lottie Clerc of York, from an early age to high school. After high school, Gary enrolled in the United States Marine Corps in December of 1960. He served in Okinawa, California, and in the French Moracco at a U.S. Navy Communications Relay Center until his honorable discharge in December 1966.
Gary was a lifetime truck driver, driving for Troy Transportation in York, and then he drove for Yellow Transportation in Lincoln, before transferring to Chicago, Ill. where he retired from in 2010, to spend more time with family and friends. Between the two driving jobs, he was able to drive in 48 states and all over Canada, including several trips to Alaska.
Those left to cherish his memory include his sons, John Paul of Hastings and Gary Jr. of Grand Island; grandchildren, Lacy, Georgia and Cooper; great-grandson, Atticus and two brothers, Robert Clerc and Ricky Clerc, both of Florida.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.
Memorials are suggested to the family for later designation.

We´re somewhat distant family of Gary´s in Colorado Springs. Life and distance didn´t give us much opportunity to be together.
However, we´ll always remember him as a very kind and thoughtful person...He was quite special that way.
My stepdad Tom Clerc thought the world of Gary! Same is true if my sister, Conny.
The last time my husband and I saw Gary was around 10 years ago when he came by for a visit.
We send our heartfelt condolences to his dear family!
