Gary was involved in a number of deaf ministries, including Calvary Deaf Assembly in Melrose Park where he served on the Board for more than 20 years. He also served in the Midwest Deaf Men's Ministry and was known by all as a willing servant of God. Gary never knew how to say "No". His greatest joy was ministering to the needs of others. He worked as a machinist for Spraying System Company for 28 years. He attended the Illinois School for the Deaf in Jacksonville, IL. He attended Waubonsie Community College for two years.
He is survived by his wife of 14 years, Barbara; his children, John Falk of Warrenville, and Deborah Falk of Oswego; four beautiful grandchildren, Justin, Brianna, Jaslyn, and Blake; his parents, Harold and Gladys Reu of Darien; brother, Alan (Peggy) Reu of Carol Stream; and many nieces and nephews.
