Dansville: On August 3, 2021 at age 74, Gary passed away peacefully with his family by his side at his home in Dansville. He was born in Woodhull, NY to the late Harold and Verda Watkins. Survived by his beloved wife of 22 years, Jennifer L. Watkins, his children; Amy (Richard) Neumann, Jennifer (Ryan) York, Adrianne (Brandon) Wilber, Burton (Megan) Price III, and Collin Price, his brother Douglas Watkins, and his grandchildren; Cody, Jacob, Jordyn, Cooper, Chase, Juniper, and Maddilyn, along with many loved foster children, nieces, nephews, and long-time friends Judith Guiles and Randy Dieter.

Gary spent his 46+ year career following his passion for all things railroad. He traveled the U.S. building and maintaining railways and creating many long-lasting friendships along the way. His incredible work ethic couldn’t go unnoticed. His co-workers looked to him for his wisdom, his guidance, and occasionally for dates. Turns out he was a pretty good matchmaker too. (By the way Brandon, you still owe Dad a goat.)

Always ready with a witty remark, his sly smile gave away his playful nature. He lived to make those he loved happy. No family gathering was complete without an unexpected comment followed by fits of laughter from all in the room and Gary grinning from ear to ear over his accomplishment. His positivity was invaluable as he faced an onslaught of medical issues lasting years. He fought through them all with grace and an amazing strength seldom seen.

Most importantly, to Gary family was everything and everyone was family. Never was there a time where Gary would not interrupt his own task to help another in any way needed, whether it was fixing the broken down car of a stranded stranger on the side of the road, or having a long sit down with any one of the many people he held close. All deserved his time, attention and kindness which he gave freely, abundantly and without judgement.

Anyone who knew Gary was aware that they knew someone special. They say that a man is measured not by how he dies, but how he chose to live, not by what he gained, but what he chose to give. By this measure, and all others, he was one of a kind.

Friends and family are invited to come from 5-8 PM to celebrate Gary on Monday, August 9, 2021 at the Dansville Fish and Game Club (upper clubhouse), 79 Gibson Street in Dansville, NY. Memorial contributions may be made to: Ronald McDonald House Charities, 333 Westmoreland Drive, Rochester, NY 14620. To share a memory or a condolence, please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com.
