He was co-owner of Atlantic Driving School, manager of Guard Force and manager of Gretchen’s Inn. He was born June 20, 1952 in Dover, N.J. Gary was well known and loved in the community. Helping those in need was his passion. He worked with the VA and most community organizations. Gary’s true love was rally racing cars. He started in 1976. On Nov. 7, he was on his way home from the Sports Car Club of America’s 50th anniversary gathering where he received an honorary award when he suddenly passed away. He was the chairman for rally events from Maine to Ohio to Virginia for 15 years. Over the years, he held many national titles in the U.S. and Canada. Gary was the only person ever to win the Alcan 5000 (a 5,000-mile event that goes from Seattle, Wash. to the Arctic Circle using the road that the Ice Road truckers use) five times. He started Atlantic Driving School in 1985 in Maine. His first class had 30 students and it never stopped. Gary and his wife Glenda worked hard and played hard. Gary often said that we “did more in a year than most people did in a lifetime.” Gary is survived by his wife Glenda of 43 years, his nephew Guy Westleigh, siblings and his mother. There will be a memorial Saturday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m., at Mohave Valley United Methodist Church, 1593 Lipan Blvd., Ft. Mohave. Any donations may be given to Mohave Valley Food Bank.
