In 2018 Gary was named person of the year by his employer for continued exemplary work and perseverance despite his recent cancer diagnosis several months earlier. He was also the recipient of GE's CEO Award for development and launch of new Welcome Package Digital Tool and contributed numerous well-received articles to VALVE Magazine.
Gary studied industrial engineering at Pennsylvania State University, and never missed a chance to boast that he “bled blue and white,” the colors of his beloved Nittany Lions.
On March 23rd, Gary was laid to rest at the Puritan Cemetery in Plymouth, MA. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to St. Bonaventure Catholic Church, 803 State Road, Plymouth, MA 02360 or Cranberry Hospice, 36 Cordage Park Circle, Plymouth, MA 02360.
