Gary
L. Bixby, 54, passed away on Monday (Aug. 22, 2005) at the Buffalo
Veterans Administration Hospital following a lengthy illness. Gary
was born on Oct. 19, 1950, in Wellsville, NY to Clifford and Elizabeth
(Rice) Bixby, who survive. Gary was a 1968 graduate of Andover Central
School. After graduation he served as Weapons Specialist in the United
States Air Force from 1968 to 1971, until a motorcycle accident while on
duty ended his military career, and left him permanently disabled. On
Oct. 8, 1984, he married Rosanne Smith who also survives. In
addition to his parents and wife, Gary is survived by two sons, Dennis
Bixby and Thomas Bixby; two
daughters, Christina Bixby and Heidi Bixby; one brother, William; three grandchildren, Adam Bixby, Samantha Bixby and Sarah Bixby. Gary
was an outdoor enthusiast who never let his physical disability prevent
him from enjoying the things he loved. He also cherished the annual
vacation spent with his family. One
of his favorite pastimes was flying with his Internet friends The
Outlaws, which he enjoyed for many years, until his illness..
I
started flying in the zone in 1998 when I met Dusty, from there it
was all downhill, lol. Joking, we had a lot of fun and met some great
people. We enjoy meeting more good friends on the zone so come on and play, rookie or ace, it doesn't matter. Goose
