They made their home in Green Bay where he worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The family moved to Marshalltown, Ia, where he continued to work for CNW and was the shop superintendent. After that he moved to Illinois, in several different cities. Then they moved to Michigan City, Indiana where he worked for Chicago south shore & South Bend Railroad as the Chief Mechanical Officer for the Freight side until retiring. In 2016, the couple moved to Marshalltown to be near their Daughter and grandkids. Gary enjoyed traveling, reading, visiting his kids and grandkids with his Suzie.
