He was united in marriage to Luann (Landowski) on September 22, 1979. Together they had three children who were the great pride of his life. Gary graduated from Pierz Healy High School and went on to a long career in the boat works industry. He spent time at Crestliner, but moved to Larson Boats, were he spent 36 years until the Little Falls plant closed in 2017. He spent his remaining career at Wabash National as supervisor.

He was the “knower of all things.” He seemed to have the answer to any “fix it” problem and was ready and willing to share that knowledge.
