Gary Gene Torrence, 72, of Saint Peters, Missouri passed away on August 26 after a battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. 

Gary was born on February 21, 1952, to Eugene and Bernice (nee Gattis) Torrence in St. Louis, MO. After Gary graduated from Riverview Gardens in 1970, he went on to study business with a major in accounting at University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Once retired, Gary spent his time on the golf course and enjoying every moment with his family. He found so much joy in his grandchildren and loved to drive them around in his Mustang convertible.
