Gary was a prankster, and the hardest working, most loyal man we knew. He passed his love of fishing and animals onto his children and grandchildren. It can be said that no man is perfect, but to us, he was. This man saw the difficulties of war, the loss of a child, and years battling health issues - life challenged him, but he made the best life he could for his wife and family.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Unity Hospice, Bellin Cardiology, (N.P. Kirby Otto) and Katie at the VA Clinic in Green Bay.
