Gary lived a life that was full of pride, joy and happiness. He took pride in his career as a Millwright. His 4 grown children are living proof of his willingness to put others before himself. Anyone who knew him knows of his generosity, work ethic, humility and selflessness. He demonstrated these traits again and again through both his career and life.

Whatever Gary was involved in, he made sure that it was done the right way. He never cut corners, and always made sure others were happy.

Gary will be missed dearly. I hope to someday become half the man he was. People like my Father are one in a million.

Albert Einstein once said, Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

So let us celebrate Gary's life and continue his legacy. I love you and will miss you.
