He was an integral part of the automotive industry, where he diligently served in the shipping department of Harrison Radiator until his retirement.

He was a loving family man, a doting grandfather, and a dear friend to many. His memory will forever be cherished by his family, friends, and all who knew him. 

He was the dear husband of the late Janice, with whom he spent over 50 years of wedded bliss. He was the proud and loving father to Jerold Cummings and Denise Adderly. His grandchildren, Blaize and Dain Adderly, and his great-granddaughter, Arwen Adderly, held a special place in his heart. Gary was the cherished brother to Linda (late Mike) Eldred and Becky Incorvaria. Besides his wife Janice, Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Viola (Stanley) Cummings.
