Obituary of Gary Dale Gingrich

GINGRICH, Gary Dale

 

With hearts full of both deep sadness and peace, Gary’s family announces his peaceful passing on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at St. Mary’s Hospital at the age of 66 years.

 

Cherished husband to Pauline for 46 years, loving father to Julia Gingrich and Rebecca Plett, Kristen Gingrich Berg and Bryan Berg. Proud grandpa to Oliver and Miriam Berg. Gary is also survived by his siblings, Marlin and Nadine Gingrich, Wendy Gingrich and Chris Blanche and Kevin Gingrich as well as his brothers and sisters-in-law, Loretta Snider and Murray (predeceased), Doris and Gord Reier and his nieces and nephews. Gary was predeceased by his parents Leonard and Doris (nee Burkhart) Gingrich.

 

Gary enjoyed his 35 plus year career at Union Gas and was very grateful for the many accommodations his employers made in his job and workplace to adapt to his changing physical abilities. The family expresses deep appreciation for the compassionate care Gary received from his doctors, the CarePartners nurses and community medical teams. The family are especially appreciative for the many years of loving care for Gary from his Attendants of the Independent Living Centre of Waterloo Region including Sean during the early years and in the last decade Diane and Leticia with some assistance from Myra, Robin and Ana. Precious family, cherished friends, music, movies and being a grandpa brought great joy to Gary’s life.
