Gary was a legend in the racing community. He loved drag racing, attending car shows, and working on his ’69 Chevelle and was a member of the MO Outlaw Street Racing Club. He was a jack-of-all trades who could build anything from houses to vehicles. He loved to mentor people with his work and his home is filled with beautiful wood furniture pieces of which he made himself. Gary was filled with passion and though he could often be very stubborn, he never met a stranger and was willing to give the shirt off his back if necessary. He loved spending time talking about his race car with his race car buddies. His talents and dynamic zest for life will be greatly missed but always remembered.
