Gary was a Jack of all trades”_ surveying,farming,welding,construction,truck operator,and he had a mechanical ability to fix his own machinery and that of others.His sons agree that he should have been an engineer because of his ability to build equipment such as hauling trailers,pontoon boat,water trailers,cultivator and 5th wheel hitch. If he couldn’t afford it,he built it.He even designed and built the house at Candle Lake at age of 66.
