He was an avid golfer, skier and runner who always said the activity was necessary so he could have desert at every meal. Gary had many interesting jobs over the years that eventually let to the proud ownership of G & C Bearing & Supply. He was involved in Kinsman and was also on several boards over the years. After retiring, Gary continued to be busy golfing, skiing and running, as well caring for his small apartment building. One of his favourite jobs was being a lifty at Hidden Valley Ski hill when he was in his 70’s; he laughed at being the old guy at the ski hill. Gary met many wonderful people along the way and was always ready for a visit. Gary will be remembered without the proceedings of a formal funeral service.
