Gary had a big heart, most of all he loved to cook for family & friends. He prided himself making sauce & meatballs to continue Sunday dinners for many years after the death of his mother. His lasagna & stuffing on holidays were unmatched.

In the summers, at any cookout… he could be found "chef-ing it up" behind the grill.
