Gary loved life and loved unconditionally. He traveled throughout the world as a Carpenter with Local Union 1588 working in Spain, China, Japan, Germany, Iceland, Ireland and many places in Canada and the United States. He made many special and lasting friendships wherever he went and cherished each friend dearly especially, Skipper, Roddie and Jonnie.
He loved family gatherings whether informal or Mrazek Family Reunions, writing poetry and music, riding his Harley, spontaneous adventures with Annette, cooking and eating good food, puttering around on his tractor, outdoor adventures on the boat, fishing, trips to the woods and especially to his cabin built amongst the trees of his childhood playground, a nice hat, his ever present mustache, a cold beer, a 'snort' of Scotch and a good sandwich. He was a 'Gift of Love' to anyone who knew him and lives on in our hearts.
