Gary was an engineer by training who over his career worked for Johnson Controls, Boeing, MCC Powers and York International. He served in the US Army Reserves and worked on the Minuteman missile program. He assisted with designing systems for several Boeing airliners. He was the construction project manager for the HVAC systems in skyscrapers, sports complexes, schools and government buildings all over the United States.

Gary loved his wife, his family, working on cars and helping his kids and grandkids to grow. He always made time for Scouting campouts, marching band competitions and school functions… anything his kids or grandkids were involved in, Gary was right in there with them.

Through many family vacation trips, Gary taught his kids to appreciate the outdoors, new experiences and new perspectives. In later years, he and his wife Yolanda traveled all over the world enjoying the sights and each other's company.
