Obituary
Gary Lee Zarling of Oshkosh, died unexpectedly at his residence on Tuesday, April 18, 2006 at the age of 38. He was born in Oshkosh, to Marlene (Hedtke) Reisler and James Zarling on November 13, 1967.
Gary attended Oshkosh North High School, and then relocated to California, where he began to write poetry and learned to play the guitar, the love of his life. At 21, he returned to Oshkosh, and was employed at Lakeside Plastics, Grow Plant, and Larry's Sign Connection. For some time Gary worked as a nighttime security guard at Buckstaff's. On July 17, 1997 Gary was involved in a car accident, which left him semi-paralyzed, and in a wheelchair. However, Gary enjoyed life to it's fullest displaying his wonderful sense of humor. Gary lived to socialize and his favorite question was "What's your sign?" He was very philosophical, loved astrology, history, and nature. His favorite animal was the wolf. Gary also enjoyed collecting rocks and minerals, and spending time with his family. He was currently employed at Lakeside Packaging, in Oshkosh.
