Gary C. Liess, May 16, 2024

Beloved husband of Shari Liess; dear father of Benjamin Liess (Angie); Aaron Liess (Eva), Jeremy Liess (Ashley Vogler) and Matt Liess; dear grandfather of Hannah and Jake Liess; dear son of Beverly “Cookie” Liess and the late Milton Liess; dear brother of Sherry Levin (Jeff Jagmin); dear brother-in-law of Candy Oyler (Arnie Benardette), Wendy Grossman, Cindy Balaban (Mark), Julie Kurutz and David Grossman (Steve Files); loving “dad” of pups Anni and Max; dear uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

Gary loved his family, his dogs, and his gardens. He enjoyed watching the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers. He found an emotional outlet with artistic expression through painting and ceramics. Gary earned his MBA at St Louis University and enjoyed a career in business for over 50 years. He dedicated many hours to community outreach and found solace serving his neighbors and improving the world he lived in. He loved his family above all else – especially his wife, who he admired and treasured.
