For many years he was an avid curler and in later years he took pleasure in looking after his yard, especially his garden. Gary was a quiet down to earth gentleman who enjoyed having a coffee and a visit with neighbors and friends. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
A private family service will take place at a later date.
