Gary was born on October 31, 1959 in Edmonton, AB., and grew up in Medicine Hat where he graduated from Crescent Heights High School. In 1977, Gary started his electrical apprenticeship with Elhart's Electric and received his Red Seal Journeyman Certificate in 1982. Gary was an avid curler and golfer in his earlier years and continued to be a sports enthusiast right up to his last days where he actively helped his brother Blair picking teams and players for the many NFL, CFL and NHL pools that he was in, where they often competed as team members with some luck over the years. One of Gary's favourite pastimes included watching Jeopardy where he competed along with the contestants often nailing entire categories. He liked to tinker with abstract forms of art and play on words that kept his mind active.
A Celebration of Gary's life will be held at the Redcliff Hylton, 19 - 3 Street NE, Redcliff on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. Gary will be interred beside his mother at Hillside Cemetery in the Spring of 2024 .
