Gary was Crew Chief for his son, Caleb’s Go-Kart racing for eleven years, winning 113 feature races at numerous racetracks around Pennsylvania. He was an avid hunter and looked forward to deer hunting every year. He was able to shoot one bear which he made into a rug. He loved spending time outdoors and was a hard worker throughout his entire life. He thoroughly enjoyed using his Kubota Tractor and easy-turn lawn mower. He took pride in caring for his property, especially his fruit and chestnut trees. Above all, family mattered most to Gary. His greatest loves were his two granddaughters who he just adored and meant the world to him. Gary would do absolutely anything for them and his family.
