Gary came from a big family and always wanted a big family. His greatest achievement was his five children. At a young age he studied to be a boiler maker and became an exceptional boiler technician. His knowledge of machines led him to become a true-life MacGyver. He could fix anything with a screwdriver and a glass of beer. He enjoyed hanging with his children, playing golf and in the past few years, putting puzzles together. He will be missed greatly by his family and all that knew him.
