Gary Elton Crumpler, born 1961 in Dothan, Alabama. Dothan, Alabama is home to the “World’s Smallest City Block” — a quirky triangle of land barely big enough for a stop sign, tucked between three streets downtown. It’s been a local oddity since the 1960s and even earned a Ripley’s Believe It or Not mention.
Dothan produces nearly one-fourth of the U.S. peanut crop, and since 1938, it’s hosted the National Peanut Festival, a week-long celebration of all things peanut: parades, pageants, tractor pulls, and even peanut-themed art. This may partially explain why Gary is such a nut!
Even though life in the south was slow Gary liked both his cars and his women fast! One of his early favorites was a Firebird with a T top and always an affection for 69 Camaro. We can’t speak much to the women, but he did date an international lady from Copenhagen for a while. An avid outdoorsmen, he also liked his fish curious and his deer fat and slow.
He went to school for electronics, and he liked this quite a bit. He really got into his work and one day he got too close and his lips touched the circuit board and got a good shock right in the kisser !
Aside of his love for fast cars he liked fast motorcycles, and he had multiple accidents, breaking most of the bones in his body at one time or another. So, if you hear a clinking walking through the halls this Halloween it’s probably not a ghostly skeleton, just Gary Elton!
Gary enjoyed a great career as a high-level network engineer, doing complex networking for the banking industry. Often very challenging and stressful, but he always came out on top.
He has two brothers Michael and Greg, and his nephew Austin, father of his great niece and nephew, Mallie, and Clay.
Gary is a good guy but as you know, conversations with him are like jazz: unpredictable, occasionally brilliant, and best enjoyed with ear protection.
