Gary Bensing
Apr 3, 1948 — Jun 13, 2013
Gary Lynn Bensing, 65 passed away at his home in Loveland, CO on June 13, 2013.
Gary was born in Hobbs, NM on April 3, 1948 to Robert Lyle Bensing and Mary Catherine Vines. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and son. He was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Loveland, and a member of the Cross Country Crusaders, a Christian Motorcyclists Association. Gary attended New Mexico Junior College, and then made the choice to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Navy. He served our country from June 4, 1968 until September 6, 1973. He worked as a chemical processor in the pharmaceutical industry. Some of Gary's favorite pastimes were spending time with his children and grandchildren, riding his motorcycle, watching movies, going to the mountains, fishing, and relaxing in his favorite chair doing crossword puzzles. Gary also enjoyed road trips and especially liked Route 66.

Gary will be greatly missed by his four children; Jessica Bensing and husband Jared Mortell of Greeley, CO, Carissa Bensing of Loveland, CO, Nathan Bensing and Fiancé Courtney LaCosta of Loveland, CO and Toby Bensing of Denver, CO.
