Gary L. Gisslin

He was born July 17, 1950, in Jamestown, a son of the late Rodger and Mia Dahlquist Gisslin.

He was a 1968 graduate of Southwestern Central School and later earned a degree from Jamestown Community College.

He retired from Skyview Amusements, Inc., Union City, PA as a technician and “A Jukebox Hero.”

Gary was a very social person and was a member of Cassadaga American Legion 1280, Chautauqua Lake Fish Club, War Vets Recreation and Lakewood Rod and Gun Club.

He made so many special friends over the years. He loved golfing, hunting and especially going out on his fishing boat he shared with his best friend Lee.

Gary leaves us as a dedicated husband, father, gramps, brother and friend to all that knew him and loved him.

We will all miss you, Gary, but we will all carry with us wonderful and fun memories of you. As his granddaughter Nora said, “Fly High Gramps.”
