Gary was born August 25, 1956 in Pomona, California to Cornelius and Gertrude Charlotte Hannink Viss.  He truly had a lifelong career of agriculture, especially the dairy cattle industry. He was a very strong man with a "walk it off" attitude, in large part because of his faith in God and his love of his earthy father and the traditions that he instilled in him.
