Left to cherish his memories are his daughters, Cynthia Monte and husband Ralph of East Liverpool, and Kimberly McPherson and husband Brent of East Liverpool, and his sons, Chris Durham of Clearwater, Fla.; and Richard Durham and wife Linda of Canfield.

In addition he leaves eleven grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

A memorial gathering will be held at the Arner Funeral Chapel in Chester on Tuesday April 7 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at which time his grandson, Rev. Samuel Monte and Rev. Dr. Matthew Camlin of the church will celebrate Gary's life with a memorial service. He will be entombed with his wife Charlotte at Shadow Lawn Memorial Gardens in Newell.
