In 1966 he graduated from Council Rock High School in New Town, PA. He continued his education at the University of Missouri playing baseball and was a proud member of the Sig Ep fraternity. He graduated in 1970 with a degree in civil engineering and dedicated his entire career to the construction industry.

"Grandpa Garry '' was cherished by his sixteen grandchildren and always made time for their activities. When he wasn't watching the kids play sports, performing, or attending a school event, he loved scuba diving, skiing, photographing birds, playing golf, and telling stories of all his adventures.

Garry was a fighter and battled multiple illnesses for the past twenty years yet never complained. He was always the first to help his kids, grandkids, family and friends. Our lives will never be the same. We were blessed with one of the best!

Per his wishes, our family will hold a celebration of life at a later date.

Memorials may be directed to The Carle Cancer Center in lieu of flowers.
