Gary loved to hunt, fish and his Pittsburgh Steelers but the true love of his life was his family and his Lord. He was a member of Rensford Baptist Church, a volunteer coach for North East Baseball League, member of UMWA, and an employee of United Bank.
We want to thank the Cleveland Clinic Transplant team, Dr Nara and his team for everything they have done. Thank you to the staff at Dr. Henry's office and nurses at CAMC, St. Mary's and everyone who touched our lives.
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art
