Gary was in the first graduating class of Vianney High School (Kirkwood, Missouri). He was a decorated veteran of the U.S. Army Combat Engineers serving in Germany. He enjoyed helping others as a professional handyman. Gary retired from Hummert International (Earth City, Missouri). He recently used his combat engineering skills to help his brother Scott recover from Hurricane Irma. One of his many enjoyments was sitting in his beautiful, manicured back yard by the fire pit, with a cigar and a Manhattan. He and Kathy built this small oasis together. He also enjoyed listening to the local jazz station out of Edwardsville.
