Obituary

We are sad to announce the passing of Gary James Kolb on Rosh Hashanah, September 12, 2026.

Gary was a proud father, dedicated husband, co-founder of Life With Joy Inc., drummer, gourmet chef, and above Artist.

Gary died from brain complications after a fall. Gary was able to spend his last days in home hospice with the help of his family and Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice.

Gary will be cremated, and his ashes will be kept in a simple urn here in the home he loved.

Gary made us swear to keep and grow our mission and build on the purpose we believe in - to create a living and learning center for adults with and without Autism.

The Celebration of Life will be held at 3 Fox Run, Green Township, Andover, New Jersey 07821 on Sunday, September 27, 2026 at 2:00 pm.

Please join us to make music, share food, and cherished memories.

No one loves a party more than Gary!
