Gary P. Cormier

Gary P. Cormier, 45, of Templeton, died unexpectedly, Sunday, November 1, 2020, in his residence with his wife by his side.

Born in Leominster on August 9, 1975, he was the son of Donald J. Cormier and the late May M. (Allain) Cormier. He graduated from Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School with the Class of 1993 and earned college credits in electronics. Prior to his passing, Gary was a laborer employed by New England Wooden Ware of Gardner for the past several years and was the treasurer of the CSW Local Union 818.  

Gary was parishioner of Annunciation Parish/ Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church of Gardner. He was a member of the Polish American Citizens Club and the Templeton Fish and Game Club, Inc. of Templeton. Gary loved to bowl and came in second in the Candle Pin Stars & Strikes Tournament in 2004. He also enjoyed playing darts, fishing, photography, reading murder mystery books and listening to music—especially Elvis Presley. Gary was a avid sports fan and loved to watch the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. But the time that Gary cherished the most was spent with his family and friends, where he will be greatly missed for the humor and laughter, he brought to everyone.

Besides his father Donald J. Cormier of Templeton, Gary is survived by his wife of 17-years, Julie M. (Girouard) Cormier of Templeton; several aunts, uncles and cousins.
