It is said that children and dogs are the best judges of character and children and dogs absolutely loved Gary! He was liked and loved by just about everyone he met. His commitment to mentoring and sharing his knowledge, especially in outdoor pursuits and craftsmanship, impacted many lives. He introduced many to the joys of outdoor sports and he coached youth baseball for many years. Garys strong work ethic, kindness, and ability to connect with others endeared him to all who knew him. Strangers were only a short conversation away from becoming new friends. Gary recently married his best friend on September 26, 2023, and they resided in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. They had a once in a lifetime love that shined through to everyone who crossed their way. Together, they embraced a life filled with grandchildren (their pride & joy), lots of travel, and an overall spirit of adventure. He always made sure to tell Windy to have her passport ready.
