Gary’s career as a superintendent for TIC spanned 30 years, during which he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. A true "gentle giant," he made lasting impressions on all who knew him, always willing to lend a helping hand or provide a word of wisdom.

Outside of work, Gary had a deep love for the outdoors, especially hunting, which allowed him to spend time in the peace of nature. He was a hardworking man who took great pride in his family and always made time for them. Whether it was guiding his children through life’s challenges or enjoying precious moments with his grandchildren.

Gary is preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Fay Holland; and his beloved son, Christopher Holland. Though he will be greatly missed, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know him.
