Gary was a dedicated son, husband of 50 years, father to 4 sons and 3 daughter-in-laws, 8 grandchildren. He coached his sons in baseball from Little League in to High school and Legion baseball. He mentored his ballplayers that kept in touch even after 30 years. His boys gave him joy, but his grandkids were his pride and joy. We sat in bleacher watching the Braves, Rays and his Yankees over 53 years together. He loved to take the grandkids flats fishing, beach and baseball games.
