Gary Greatreaks died Friday, the 22nd of July; he lost the battle with appendicitis. He survived the ‘64 earthquake, several car accidents and a cabin fire but not appendicitis.

His group of friends referred to him as the “Chief” and he liked to party with the best of them, his music of choice was Classic Rock. He had a G.E.D. and worked hard most of his life. He is predeceased by his grandmother, father, mother, foster father and foster mother. He is survived by his close family; (brothers, sister, foster sisters, foster brother, nephews, niece, cousins and great nephews and great nieces). We will all miss his laugh and smile.
