Mees '63 passed on to Chapter Grand December 11, 2017. Born August 24, 1940, in Van Wert, Ohio, he grew up in Fort Wayne, Ind. He graduated from Purdue University Krannert School of Management and was enrolled in the ROTC program. He served 14 years in the United States Army and attained the rank of captain, receiving a Purple Heart among other military citations. He only recently retired after working for Leisure World of Maryland Corporation as director of human resources. Gary enjoyed model railroading and cars, traveling and simply sitting on the back porch. As a trans- plant recipient he never took a day of life for granted. He was an avid fan of the Washing- ton Capitals, Nationals, and Redskins and his beloved Cubs team from childhood. He loved family and especially loved town and city history and museums. He was a proud mem- ber of Pi Kappa Alpha; he owed so much to the fraternity for his learning and success, and he enjoyed coming back to the house for reunions. He is survived by his wife, Lisette Gilbert-Mees; stepson, Ron Gilbert (Cathie); sister, Jeanne Forrest (Ralph); brother-in-law, Tom Fanty (Tricia); and nieces and nephews, Vicki Rosier (Jake), Jeff Forrest (Casey), Tay- lor Fanty (Alicia), and Jeff Fanty (Christina).
