(January 10, 1949 - July 26, 2015)
Bethel, VT - GARY DUNCAN WOOD, 66, of Bethel, died Sunday night, July 26, 2015 at his home.
He was born January 10, 1949 in Hanover, NH; the son of Newall and Barbara (Champion) Wood. He was a lifetime Bethel resident, graduating from Whitcomb High School and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity, Delta Psi Chapter. Gary was married

Gary was past president of Bethel Jaycees and Bethel Rotary Club where he was a Paul Harris Fellow. Gary was an avid hunter.

Gary also enjoyed hiking and camping with his friends and family. No point of interest or landmark was too far away or too difficult to reach; “you can go there!” was a commonly uttered phrase. More recently, Gary enjoyed planting and tending to his fruit trees at his home in Lillieville. The trees that he planted years ago are now bearing fruit, and they will serve as a reminder of his attentiveness to detail and stewardship of nature.
