He was invited to “Outdoors Adventures for the Physically Challenged” and traveled to Wyoming with his son Mark as his escort. He loved all animals, especially his dogs Butchie and Peppy. He enjoyed watching all types of sporting shows. He would often brag about his wife’s cooking and baking. They didn’t eat out much, as he said he could get a better meal at home.

Don Stolfi says:
I worked with Gary for 20+ years in the Specials Department at Snap-on Tools. He was a great machinist who many times came up with creative solutions to manufacture some of our more unusual, one-of-a-kind special tools. My deepest sympathies to Shirley and Mark.
Kelly Stinefast says:
Gary & Shirley were my Moms next door neighbor. Our family spent many celebrations with them throughout the years. I will always remember Gary sitting on his porch in the summers. God bless. My deepest condolences to you Shirley & Mark.
