He is also survived by his grandchildren Tia, Chad, & Jade, his nieces and nephews Rob (Deanna), Michael, Tyson, Jacqueline, and his faithful puppy Benji. Gary will be remembered for his love of old cars, motorcycles & drag racing. Our “Mr. Fix it” loved tinkering around the house & shop and working in his yard.
