Gary married his high school sweetheart, Rita Jane Justice, on April 25, 1970. Gary and Rita were blessed to have recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. He was a wonderful father of two boys, grandfather of six, great grandfather of one, and an uncle to a host of nieces and nephews to whom he was such a blessing.
