He was born in Columbus, GA and lived most of his life in Savannah. Gary was a loving and devoted husband, father, son, brother, mentor and friend. He led by example.

Gary loved college football (especially the Georgia Bulldogs), Country Music and the Andy Griffith Show. His greatest joy was spending time with his family.
