Gary grew up on his parent's farm near Stoughton, SK. He moved to Moose Jaw where he went to SIAST and obtained his Certification as a Engineering Technologist. This lead to a job as a Design Engineer at Sasktel in Regina. He married Susan in 1981 and after a few moves, settled in Regina where he raised his 2 daughters. Gary was an Entreprenuer, Inventor and Business Owner. He dabbled in a few careers over his lifetime. He owned AAA Car World on Albert St. for 25+ years. He created Edge Manufactoring Corp. and invented Coin Master coin changers which he sold across Canada. He owned ABC Computers for a few years and sold investments and life insurance for Primerica. He also consulted with other inventors to apply for patents for their inventions. After 30 years, Gary and Susan decided to part ways. During his single years, he made more time for his social life. Gary was an avid curler, golfer and dancer. He enjoyed being a member of a few different social clubs including the Minus One Club, The Wannados, The Hotelsmen Curling Club, The Eagles Curling Club and he prided himself in running the Contemporary Singles Dance Group to promote his love of dance. Later in life, Gary became a man of faith and attended the Mount Olive Luthern Church with his brother Ray and sister-in-law Dolores. It was there that he met Marge who became a very close and special friend whom he spent lots of time with. In his last few years he spent lots of time in the Hemodialysis Unit at the General Hospital in Regina. In November 2021 he made his final move to Brightwater Senior Living in Regina. The family would like to thank the staff at both places for the care and compassion they provided during that time.

In the early 90’s I met Gary when we bought our first home, I started doing auto detailing, and Gary with AAA car world had me do a lot of work on his cars, it was a great relationship, loves working with Gary, he was a very nice guy. Our time carried on to the computer business and even the primerica time. Always a smile on his face and always happy to visit. When I ran and got elected to city council, Gary was a huge part of that success, talking to everyone, as things often do, we got busy and drifted apart, chatting from time to time, when I realized I haven’t heard from him, I went looking, and found his obituary, thank you my friend for all the wisdom and time you shared with me, all the little chats and opportunities you gave, are blessings I’ll cherish, rest in peace my friend.

I was searching for classmates from the graduating Class of 75, (then called "STI") when I came across Gary's obituary. My condolences to the family! Gary and I, and others from our class had some good times back in those days. He helped me out on more than one occasion, once with finding a car for me when times were tough. Lots of great memories with Gary from those days so long ago!
