Gary worked as a courier most of his adult life, then became disabled due to health issues. He began doing what he loved best, riding his bike. On October 1, 2020 his riding streak of 200 days in a row ended. He also started building dioramas that was inspired by his nephew Justin. Other hobbies included reading, Nascar racing, eating, watching music videos and his favorite, being with family. He was the life of the party and had a sense of humor like no other. Gary was the real deal, what you saw was what you got. He was loved by so many and touched a lot of people. We will miss him immensely. One thing bout Gary that he will be remembered for is wearing shorts year round. He would ride in subzero temperatures and some people would offer to buy him pants because they felt so bad for him. He would tell them it's ok, I like wearing shorts. He even got stopped by a news crew and was interviewed on a -20 degree day.
There aren't enough words to describe how much Gary impacted all our lives. Gary, WE LOVE YOU, RIP brother.
