A member of the Strodes Mills Baptist Church, he served as a church trustee for many years.
In his younger years he was an avid pilot, and still enjoyed attending Mifflin County Airport's monthly fly-in breakfasts.
Gary was a devoted husband and caregiver to his wife, Linda, for many years; as well as a great father and grandfather. Whether it was a campfire or sledding with the grandchildren, he made every family activity fun.
