Gary graduated from Knoch High School in 1959. He had worked at Armco in Plant Protection and retired from Penn United Technologies as a press operator.
Gary's greatest joy was attending any activity that his grandchildren were involved in. He also enjoyed displaying his recently found painting talent, playing bingo, feeding the ducks at the pond and putting lots of pepper on his food.

McLafferty of Saxonburg, seven grandchildren, Sarah Winders and her husband Travis, Megan, Stephane, Erin, Austen, Matthew and Kara McLafferty, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, James McLafferty and Edward McLafferty and his wife Carmella, also his brother-in-law, George Tirk.
