Gary had a bouncy smile and was always positive. As a husband, “I could not have asked for a better man” said his wife, Alice. He was loved and will certainly be missed. Until we meet again in heaven…
He was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin (Bud) and Sylvia Dirkse; and brother-in-law, Rod Klingenberg.
He is survived by his wife, Alice Dirkse; sister, Karen Klingenberg; brother, Mark and Deborah Dirkse; brother, Dan and Cynthia Dirkse; sister-in-law, Mary, and Steve Nienhuis; his aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews; and his pet cat, Sunshine.
