He enjoyed his golf and was a former member of the Lake Wisconsin Country Club and was an avid league bowler in his younger years.  Gary enjoyed trips out west and hunting, camping trips when the kids were young and as often as he could get up to "Perfect Catch", his cabin in Eagle River.  Gary loved to "pull someone's leg" every time he had a chance and always had nicknames for his closest friends and family; but, was most proud of his children and grandchildren.

Gary is survived by his wife, Sue; daughter, Andrea "Andie" (Gayle) Gander and their son, Jacob; son, Brian "Bud" Giegerich and significant other (Lynsi Albright) and his children, Tyler, Rex, Lola and Isla; siblings, Roxanne (Joseph) Joyce and Jon.  Former daughter in law Hollie Giegerich.    He is further survived by other relatives and friends.
