A dedicated truck driver for the City of Gardner, he carried out his work with the same passion and commitment that he brought to every aspect of his life. His jovial spirit and love for country western music brought life to every room he entered, and his love for bowling and motorcycles was unmatched. These were but a few of the many facets of Gary that made him the incredible person he was.

He now joins his father, Van Hursey, Sr; mother, Evelyn Bastarache; brother, Van Jr; and sister, Nancy Guevin, who preceded him in death.
