He was a devoted fan of the sports teams that represented Pittsburgh.
In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family, going to the movies, spending time outdoors during the summer, attending concerts, going on gambling trips with his wife, and taking vacations near the water, particularly at Virginia Beach, which was one of his favorite vacation spots. His devoted dogs, Lady, Duffy, Gingie, Winnie, and especially Bear, will miss him very much, and his family will miss him as well. In accordance with Gary’s wishes, his loved ones will gather in private for a memorial service to celebrate his life.
