He was active in the youth ministry and enjoyed assisting Mother Watson and Sister Rosa in Children's Church. During his adult life he became a member of Manna From On High Ministries under the leadership of Bishop Demetra Sanderfer where he served as a Deacon.

Gary attended Mifflin and Focus Academy. From an early age, he had a natural gift of making people laugh. Gary was well known by his family and friends for his jokes without even trying. He was kind, protective, and always willing to help. He accurately coined himself as a "Master of the Grill" because his BBQ was delicious and he was passionate about his grill skills.
