Gary was a Production Floor Scheduler for the Hill-Rom Company for 36 years, before retiring in 2008. Gary had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, deer hunting and farming with his brothers. He was a member of the Tri County Conservation Club and a proud member of the NRA. He also enjoyed and took pride in his yardwork which was evidenced by the meticulous way he cared for the grounds around his home and pond. Gary was very loyal to his church and along with being a lifelong member he also planted and cared for the flowers around St. Mary’s of the Rock Church and maintained the grounds for many years. He also served on the church council and managed hall rentals for quite a long time. Gary loved his pickup trucks and owned a few over the years. He took pride in maintaining them and had a reputation for having sharp looking, clean, and shiny vehicles. He was an avid NASCAR fan and attended several races years ago but recently enjoyed watching them on TV. You would often find Gary wearing a baseball hat and he reportedly has a collection of over 200 of them. He also enjoyed watching sports, especially the Reds, Bengals, IU and Notre Dame Football. His family says he was not a “picky eater” as he liked most everything Sue made especially the desserts. One of Gary & Sue’s favorite places to travel was Gatlinburg, TN. He loved his wife, siblings, nieces & nephews, and great nieces & nephews and was happy when any of them could join them on a trip to Tenn. Sue and the family wish to express their gratitude to the staff and caregivers at St. Andrew’s Health campus as well as the Staff at Margaret Mary Health Hospice for all the love and care they provided to Gary.
