Gary was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig Disease) on 12/20/2013. Gary started noticing the first signs of ALS in the Spring of 2013 but we didn't know what it was until just before the Holidays. Gary has always been a healthy man with a lot to offer the artist community. He has influence several aspiring artist over the years teaching at various colleges and schools leaving his mark with inspiration of design. A mark that last forever-he still communicates with a few of his students from art classes in 1997. He has touched so many people and he was always the guy to help others but now he is needing the help--which is hard for him to accept because he still sees himself as the big, strong man.
He is also a great husband and father. Gary choose a life where he could work from home since Karen is an Air Force Veteran, and to spend more time with his family. He has been married for 18 years to his wife where they strive to keep a tight knit family and running a small gift store, where the kids are often seen in the day to day operations. They, the kids- Dylan and Jordan- Love working our quarterly charity drives to the likes of animal rescues to food drives for the local food pantry.
Thank You for your time reading about Gary and the consideration in donating. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.
