Gary carried on his father's love of cattle farming. A perfect day for Gary would be walking the farm viewing his cattle he was so proud of, then headed to town for breakfast, coffee and his friends.
Gary loved all things sports especially baseball and softball. He played on many teams until he decided to coach and then umpire. He was popular as on ump with our local coaches and several colleges. Gary was a firm believer in family and remained close to his brother, nieces and nephews. He enjoyed popping into a niece's softball game but, would claim he was there for the hot dogs because they always tasted better at a game. Gary enjoyed spoiling his great nieces and nephews by leaving them a large pumpkin or watermelon at their homes.
