Gary's Story
Life
I live in rural Ohio with my wife Patti. This is a agricultural area with a large Amish population. We left the urban environment in 1995 seeking quiet and greenspace. We have found both on our 20 acres. Maintenance of the grounds, lawn and woodlot, is something enjoyed and keeps hands busy.
I have one adult son (Gary Jr.) by a previous marriage. He lives close enough but not too close. He remains single and has avoided making us grandparents.
My sister Kathy, who also attended the same schools, has returned to our birthplace in Tennessee. She and her husband Justin Clark have two children and three grandchildren. They all live in Tennessee.
Workplace
I worked 31 years for a first tier automotive supplier to the medium and heavy truck industry in Cleveland. ...Expand for more
My job was priority one in my life and all other things were limited by the job's constraints. I have great personal satisfaction knowing I added value and helped others. I was promoted many times which I used as a scale of performance and success. The plant closed, I declared retirement and went home to concentrate on hobbies and afternoon naps.
