Gary’s faith in the Lord has always been strong. He was well liked by all who met him.  He absolutely loved wood working in his shop and gifting his creations and toys to others. He was a wonderful husband, dad, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend.  He loved with all his heart and gave the most amazing hugs full of warmth and comfort.  His love for Jeremy was immense, he was so proud of the man he is.
