He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. From a very young age Gary’s world revolved around mechanics. He instilled his beliefs into his children and anyone else willing to learn that you fix or build anything you can with your own two hands. He was also a huge pet lover.

Boardman and sister Gayle (Loren) Boughfman. Gary passed away unexpectedly on June 27, 2019 at his home. He is preceded in death by his wife, JoAnne and his parents.
