Gary, 71, born in Pryor, OK on 26 September, 1946, moved to Pasco at age one. He graduated Pasco High School and attended classes at CBC throughout his life. Gary's professional life included working for Burlington-Northern Railroad and as an electrician in many of our nation's nuclear power plants.

Gary's greatest love was for his wife Barbara and their family. He was a rock-solid foundation for many of us...we love and will miss him dearly.

Always with a smile on his face, Gary was a friend to all and a stranger to no one. Especially if you liked cars...
