Gary graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, TX. He worked for Consolidate Freight and Yellow Freight Company and retired after 25 years. He was a dedicated member of the Teamsters. He loved fishing and cooking. You could always find him working on his yard it least twice a week and it was kept immaculate! Most of all he loved spending time with his grandchildren and family.
A Memorial Service will be set at a later time.
