Gary loved the outdoors and always had his fishing gear ready for the river or any other good fishing hole. He worked in the livestock business his entire life with a moment spent as custodian at Livermore Elementary School where he loved reading to the kids and participating with the school plays. In 2001 he moved back to Webster City, Iowa to be closer to his own grandchildren, working for Prestige Farms until his retirement in 2016. He was a member of Kamrar United Methodist Church and former member of the Kamrar Lions Club. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, trapping, and camping. He has crossed the Rainbow Bridge now sitting on a bucket telling a fresh bunch of stories to family and friends on the other side.
