He looked forward to opening day of firearm season every year and taking the boat out fishing, especially the last few years at Fletchers Pond. Gary was a great story teller and anyone who knew him can remember him telling them a story about bagging a buck, shooting a turkey or catching a mess of panfish and of course the fish fry that soon followed. He will be remembered for his goofy antics and sometimes loud but unforgettable laugh. He enjoyed raising cattle, chickens for eggs, for many years had mules and made many friends as part of the mule club and also raised hounds for coon hunting.
