Gary at the Club's annual awards dinner with wife, Dianne (left) and fellow board member, Kristi.
Long time board member and incredible person, Gary Kurschner, died suddenly over the weekend while enjoying himself on the dance floor. He will always be remembered by his huge smile, his therapy dog work, and his love of life, Dianne, and of course his Boxers. We love and Miss you, Gary.
