Gary moved here to Texas from Snellville, GA in 2006 with his wife and daughter.  He instantly became apart of our family and fit right in from day one. His wife Cheryl was transferring from the GM plant in Doraville Georgia to the GM plant here in Arlington Texas.  Gary was coming from a family business of Steel Rule Die Making called Juhan Die Service from which he developed and crafted his die making skills. We use to joke about how scary it was that Gary fit in so well with a bunch of nuts like us, but for whatever reason he did and he became an instant friend to us all. On January 6th 2008 Gary's wife Cheryl was killed in a hit and run accident near downtown Dallas. This was devastating for Gary and his daughter as they had only begun to start a new life here in Texas. Now they had to look at returning home to Georgia in order to be closer to their immediate family. Gary and his daughter moved back home late that summer of 2008 and began to start a new life with the love and support of their family. Over the next few months we kept in contact with Gary whether it was just to call and say "How you doing Buddy" or exchanging funny and ridiculous emails with each other. Sadly on February 26th 2009 Gary was killed in a fatal car accident near his home in Georgia.

Gary: You will always be appreciated, remembered, and missed by your friends here at Production Steel Rule Die Service.
