Gary was born on February 5, 1957, to Jerome and Virginia (Kinder) Rose. He married Diana (Simon) on October 11, 1975.
Gary was an extremely proud Dad and Grandpa /"Pa". He loved his grandchildren, attending their activities, sporting events, and taking them on 4-wheeler rides.
He was a talented wood worker and loved spending time in his garage. He was a handy man that his wife and children depended on. Gary never knew a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone.
Gary was employed at Olin Winchester Corporation for 46 years and had been counting down the days to his retirement, so he could spend even more time with his family. After his retirement in February 2022, you could find Gary at the Illinois Riverdock enjoying breakfast and visiting with friends. He kept busy with his many projects, "tinkering" in his garage, and spoiling his grandchildren.
