Gary Richard Lebovsky, age 71 of Delano passed away unexpectedly on January 9, 2025. Gary was born November 27, 1953 to Richard and Madeline (Alger) Lebovsky in Buffalo, Minnesota.

Gary lived his entire life in Delano, graduating from Delano High School where he was the captain of the basketball team and class president.  He studied engineering at the University of Minnesota before helping his mother run the family store, Lebovsky Dry Goods.  He later worked as a carpenter and building inspector known by all for his attention to detail. As a young dad, he spent his time as a youth basketball and baseball coach for his kids, and always volunteered at various events with the Sons of the American Legion (SAL). In 1979 he met Judy Seglem, an attractive blonde from the North Shore.
