Gary, 68, was born 1950, in Charleston, West Vir- ginia, the son of Willis and Gladys Underwood. Following graduation from Charlotte High School in 1968, Gary worked for General Motors for 30 years. Gary married his sweetheart Jean (Groh) and spent the next 36 years creating their legacy together. He loved everything outdoors, from riding his Harley to hunting, fi sh- ing, boating, traveling, riding ATVs, rock hunting, and golfi ng. Gary could always be found enjoying life. Family and friends meant so much to Gary. Family and friends will remember Gary for being a handy- man that could fi x anything. There was no job too diffi cult for him. Gary is survived by his wife, Jean; children, Maggie (Jennifer Tabar) Underwood, Dennis Underwood, Brooke Underwood and Jimmy Un- derwood; and his dearest friends. He was predeceased by his parents and siblings, Darrel Underwood, Carol Stutler, and Paul Underwood.
