Gary graduated from Colorado Springs High School in 1959, then went on to attend Adams State College earning bachelors and master's degrees in physics and math. Gary taught both subjects at Palmer and Coronado High Schools for thirty-five years.
Gary enjoyed many great years of running, boating, slalom water-skiing, dancing, fishing, tennis, volleyball, traveling, woodworking, remodeling and restoring homes.

Gary was one of my favorite doubles partners at the Lynmar Tennis Club; always positive and supportive. I got to visit with him last Christmas at his and Judy's home; I am so thankful that he called and invited me. He was a great USTA captain and an even better person. I will always be thankful to have known Gary and his wonderful wife Judy.
