    Gary was born Dec. 29, 1960 in Lafayette to Kenneth and Clara Sondgerath Lamie. He graduated from McCutcheon High School in 1979 and received his bachelor's degree from Purdue in agricultural economics in 1983 and a master's degree in management from Indiana Wesleyan in 2010. He married Kathleen Schafer on Aug. 31, 2002.

    A lifetime member of the Purdue Alumni Association, he traveled to France in 2005 as part of Purdue's Agri-Days IV French/Indiana Farmer Exchange Program. He was a Jackson Township trustee for several years, as well as a volunteer EMT for the West Point Fire Department. He was a member of the Tippecanoe County Historical Society, serving as a board member and volunteer for many events.

    For the past 10 years, he was a leader in the Indiana Corn Growers Association (past president), the National Corn Growers Association (vice chair for research and business development) and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council (current president). He traveled extensively with these groups, planning strategy and conferring with elected officials in Indianapolis and Washington, D.C.

    He was instrumental in helping establish Indiana's corn check-off program. Gary was also a strong champion for the Purdue Student New Uses Corn Contest that encourages college students to find innovative new uses for corn, and his farm was a frequent stop for students and international trade teams. In 2008 he was selected to represent Indiana in the Syngenta "Leadership At It's Best" program.

    Gary was known for his great sense of humor, and his love of family, history and agriculture. He always was striving to be a good steward of the land. He enjoyed entertaining family and friends at cookouts on his farm.
