Gary C. Spaulding

Gary C. Spaulding, 54, passed away Jan. 24, 2008.

He worked for lumber companies and Burlington Northern Railroad. He quit working full-time in 2001 to travel in his RV. He spent considerable time in Pahrump during his travels.

He was gregarious and humorous and at 6 feet, 5 inches tall with a large beard he was quite a presence. He towed his rusty-brown colored Jeep with his 29 foot Jayco RV wherever he went so he could explore the back country. He also enjoyed biking and always had a bike on the back of his RV. He bicycled across the country several times and traveled around the world on his bike in 1988 and 1989.

His family and friends expected Gary to come back into their lives as he had so many times before. His sudden death has left his loved ones with many unanswered questions. The family is requesting anyone who knew Gary to contact the family with any details of his life from the last few years.

You can contact the Spaulding family at P.O. Box 1590, Hood River, OR 97031. You can call 541-387-5574 or email to spaulding@gorge.net.
