Gary married the love of his life, Terrie in 1982. Together they worked hard and over 40 years traveled the world. Gary was a good husband, a good Dad to Zues and Zoey (their beloved dogs), a wonderful friend and neighbor, and a faithful servant of the Lord.

After working many years in Ohio, their love of the mountains and the lake brought them to Tennessee. Gary retired two years ago from CVG as a quality engineer.

He was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and also Knights of Columbus.
