Gary graduated from Johnstown High School in 1960 and was a member of the 1958 JHS Class AA W.P.I.A.L. Champion football team. He also set the PA. State shotput record in his HS Senior year. Gary graduated from Penn State University with a BS in Restaurant, Hospitality, and Institutional Management. He began his professional career with Marriott in Washington, D.C. He earned an MBA from Michigan State University and was a major contributor to the nation’s first State Food Handling Course while he was at Henry Ford Community College. Gary was Director of the university-wide food services at the University of Louisville, KY., and Transylvania University, TN. He was an Associate Professor in Multi-Unit Restaurant Management at Purdue University, IN. In 1999, Gary’s lifelong dream came true when he opened “Hubcap Mary’s Barbeque” in Warriors Mark, PA. He greeted everyone with a broad smile and a cheerful, “Welcome To Heaven!” Gary was generous with both his knowledge and the restaurant’s serving sizes. Customers quickly became his friends. Gary had three lifetime passions: football (both high school and Penn State); food (especially the tastes and flavors, thanks to his golden palate); and research, restaurant efficiency, and customer service. He thrived searching for that perfect recipe. Gary carried on his father’s interest of hunting, reloading, and guns. Friends will be received April 28 from 12 p.m. until time of service at 2 p.m. at Hindman Funeral Homes & Crematory, Inc., 1521 Frankstown Rd, Johnstown PA 15902. Rev. Eric Shafer, officiating.
