Gary graduated from Laker High School in 1965. He retired from Cole Carbide after forty-eight years. Gary was always there for anyone that needed help. He would fix things the traditional way or come up with an innovative solution. Gary enjoyed attending car races with his son, Garrett. He was fond of having coffee with his friends. Gary was loved by his neighbors and they would always see him coming on his "scooty pop" (mobile chair). His scooty pop made it possible for him to be helpful and get around. He loved to tinker in the garage, attend to his garden, and spend time with family and friends. Gary spent his last years caring for his wife, RuthAnn. His favorite pastime was fishing. Gary will be remembered for his big size, huge heart, and hammer cane. Gary was a member of the Cass City United Methodist Church.
