He was raised and educated in Bremerton, later living in Silverdale until 8 years ago when he and his wife of 60 years, Jane (Gibson) David, moved to Dabob Bay by Quilcene.

Gary began working at PSNS in 1951 fresh out of high school. He proudly served in the Army and returned to work at PSNS where he steadily rose in position and responsibility until he reached the top of his trade as superintendent of the Electric Shop in 1982, a positon he held until his retirement in October 1987, and at which time the Department of the Navy presented him with the Meritorious Civilian Service award for being of high value and benefit to the Navy.
