Gary loved life, especially camping with the kids and his family. Gary worked for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for 38 years.

Gary’s nickname was “Gary the Tool Man.” Gary love to volunteer for the Sapulpa Historical Society and helped other volunteers build many displays. He was very involved with the restoration of the Trolley and was involved in the “Big Build” with American Heritage Bank. When Gary was not volunteering he loved to play music for social dances and the fireworks show at Flint Ridge. He loved decorating his yard for Halloween and scaring all the kids (big and little).
