Gary eventually reached the point in his career at Independent Service Company where he was able to retire after having worked there for the previous 41 years, beginning as a master drawer.
When Gary wasn’t at work, you could find him out on the golf course. He was a member of the Jackson Park Golf Course in Palmyra, Missouri, and he found great joy in getting together with his friends to play local courses, particularly that course. Gary was a devoted sports fan who relished the opportunity to watch local high school athletes compete in a variety of sports. Gary, who used to play slow pitch softball, enjoyed watching baseball games involving the St. Louis Cardinals.
In addition to that, he was a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers football team. Gary found great happiness in spending the winters on the Florida Gulf coast, where he could bask in the sun and enjoy the beach. Gary enjoyed a variety of pastimes, some of which included eating Chinese food, playing card games with his family, and watching golf or a game show on television. Above all else, Gary cherished the times he got to spend with his loved ones, both blood and chosen. Scott Miller, Chris Miller, Eddie Reynolds, Keith Richards, Bobby Butler, Donnie Miller, and Cory Miller will serve as pallbearers during the funeral service.
