Gary was a loving husband and father, a devoted son, a delightful uncle, a respected co-worker, and a cherished friend and neighbor. He was a "rock" for many people, always offering thoughtful support along with his trademark dry sense of humor. Gary was a graduate of Robbinsdale High School, the University of Minnesota, and the University of St. Thomas. After serving in the Army, he launched his business career working for the National Alliance of Business, National Car Rental, and Campbell- Mithun Advertising. Most of Gary's career was spent working at 3M Company where he was the "go to" marketing guy. He and his wife, Sarah, met while working at 3M and were married for 20 wonderful years. Although an introvert, he truly enjoyed attending regular "gourmet club" dinners with dear friends during the past 27 years. After early retirement, Gary devoted his time to supporting son Evan, doing yardwork, researching local history, and helping out the neighborhood lake association. Gary will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. A memorial service will be held at Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel on Monday, December 17th at 6 pm with visitation from 4-6 PM.
