puzzles and movies were
among his favorite things. He
was a topnotch bridge and
backgammon player with a
slew of friends who enjoyed
his sense of humor and ability
to have a good time.
Moved by the beauty of life,
it was unequivocally clear that
Gary loved his family deeply
and put them before all else.
He would often say, “It doesn’t
matter what you do every day
as long as you get up and do
something that you love.” Gary
will be deeply missed. May his
memory be a blessing.
A graveside memorial
will be held Friday, June 25,
2021, at 11 a.m. at Machpelah
Cemetery, 21701 Woodward
Ave. in Ferndale, MI 48220.
A gathering to follow; details
to be announced. Donations
in Gary’s memory may be
made to the Center of Hope
for Vietnam orphans in crisis,
