I've known Gary as a friend for a long time. He was a man who truly enjoyed his retirement building and showing a variety of the best 32 Fords in the country. He'll be missed especially at the LARS where he was someone everyone knew. He was a real gentlemen. We'll miss him. RIP

 

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family and friends... I understand your pain as I am going through the same thing.

Gary was a true hot rodder and a builder of the nicest Deuces in the Midwest who always had a big smile and a friendly hello. We had great conversations every time we saw each other. I met him and Everett Gray 15 years ago at a V-8 Club swap meet in Peoria and we were friends ever since. Godspeed Gary.

Sorry for your loss of a friend....May he RIP...….

 

Sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace..

 

Knew Gary for many years as he attended the Shadetree Rod Runs in Nashville Tn. His cars were winners many times. RIP GARY.

 

My condolences, especially to you John & all that knew Gary, I never had the privilege of meeting him but it's obvious he was well known and a friend to many. HRP

 

I am very sorry to learn of Gary's passing. Chuck Gray got Gary and I together several years ago when I was selling my late brother's 3 window project to help settle the estate for my Niece.. Gary was a complete Gentlemen at that time and continuously thereafter. After finishing the car, he invited my niece and family to see it....a very thoughtful and generous consideration......Gary's trademark behavior.

Usually saw Gary at many Rod events and his annual party....last talking with him in Des Moines this past July. He was optimistic about surviving his medical issues and the new technology that was on it's way.

Gary will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him........

I met Gary about 10 years ago while he was out West for the LARS . Since then he has become a part time customer and an even better friend . He and his great group of hot rod buddies would come out several times a year and it was always something that I would look forward too. We just spoke last week of their upcoming visit to attend the GNRS next month . We've all lost a really nice man , RIP.

 

Hi All,

I'm Kate, Gary's daughter. Thank you for your kind words. My Dad loved the street rodding community with his whole heart. My Mom and I are so grateful for the love you had for him and the fantastic life experiences you gave him. We had a BEAUTIFUL service yesterday full of lots of tears AND lots of laughter. My Dad would have loved it.

I have attached a link to the obituary I wrote for him at the bottom of this post. He was a man who crammed many lifetimes into one and wow, was I lucky to have him as my Dad.

I want you to know that while my Mother and I are aching for Gary, we are also relieved that he was having fun with friends and then, he was gone. That was how he would have wanted it.

Please know that we'll be thinking of you and that my Dad's spirit is with you.

Please, leave a chair out for him at the shows.

Much love to you during this sad time.
