to LeGrand to be closer to family. Gary had been employed at Lennox Industries in Marshalltown for over 20 years. He was a member of New Hope Christian Church, American Legion, UAW Skilled Trades, and prior member of the volunteer LeGrand Fire Department. Gary had a great love for God, his Lord and Savior, his family and his friends. He also enjoyed serving others at the House of Compassion, Salvation Army and other countless ways in his daily life. Laughter, motorcycling, traveling across the country, and playing cards with family and friends also brought him great joy.
