Adoring pupa of Sophie and Griffin. Gary is survived by his life partner Anne Vernon and his dog Tyson. Predeceased by his parents John and Irene Twerdohlib.
Gary was born and raised in Port Colborne where he lived all his life. He worked at Thurston Machine as a machinist for his entire career. He grew up playing baseball with his lifelong friends and played golf since he was a young teenager. Gary even had the opportunity to caddy at the Canadian Open at Cherry Hill Golf Club.
