GEORGES MILLS, NH – Gary Ford Theis, 64, of Georges Mills, NH passed away on Friday October 22, 2021.
Gary was born to Beverly and William Theis on November 15, 1956, in Buffalo, NY.
He spent his childhood in East Glenville, NY alongside his sister, Linda, and brother, Brian. After graduating from Burnt Hills High School, he attended SUNY Morrisville and later relocated to Kezar Lake in North Sutton, NH after accepting a position as Chief of Communications with the Associated Press. North Sutton is also where he met his former wife, Pamela, and together they introduced their three children: Joseph, Nicholas, and Alicia.
Gary was most proud of his children and grandchildren, as well as his early career as Chief of Communications with the Associated Press covering the New England region. Gary loved spending time outdoors with his family going camping, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, skiing, and golfing. Many of his childhood traditions, such as camping in the NY Adirondacks, will continue to be an annual family tradition for many generations.
Gary is predeceased by his father, William.
He is survived by his mother, Beverly (Georges Mills, NH); his two siblings and their spouses, Linda & Robert Lemieux (Argyle, NY), and Brian and Jennifer Theis (Irvine, CA); his three children and their spouses, Joseph & Shawna Theis (Salisbury, NH), Nicholas & Jessica Theis (Newbury, NH), Alicia & Peter Castello (Dover, NH); his four nieces and nephews, Jennifer, Jamie, Michael, and Mitchell; and his four grandchildren, Jameson, Owen, Aubrey, Alexander and Isen.
Funeral arrangements and/or services to be determined at a later time.
Dear Bev, Linda, Brian, and Gary’s family,
I am so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. We were born 2 days apart, in the same hospital, and I think our Moms even shared a room. It has been many years since I have seen him, but the good old times with the cousins in the Adirondacks will always be remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
In sympathy,
Sandy DeVoe
