Gary “Cork” Dale Salo, 91, passed away on May 5, 2022. Cork was born to Henry and Clarice Salo on February 6, 1931, where he joined older siblings Shirley and Glenn. Sister Connie passed away in infancy. The Salo family settled to the family ranch outside of Cascade in 1937. He met the love of his life Margie Brewer at a country dance. They were married on November 28, 1948 and raised their children Terry and Cindy in the Big Belt Mountains. Cork was a cattle buyer and kept the ranch full of quality cattle over 65 years. He began selling real estate in 1968 before moving to Great Falls with Margie in 1978. Cork loved sharing his many adventures throughout his life. He loved to fish, ride a good horse, camp in the wilderness, attend grandkids’ events, work on the ranch, watch a Mariner’s game, play a round of golf, visit with friends, and give the best hugs.

Cork has been reunited with his wife Margie; mother Clarice; father Henry; sisters Shirley Hansen and Connie Salo; brother Glenn; son-in-law Robert Malisani; great granddaughter Teagan Salo; and numerous brothers and sisters-in-law. He is survived by son, Terry (Judy) Salo; daughter, Cindy Malisani; grandsons, Scott (Allison) Salo, Dirk Salo, Jack (Marnie) Malisani, and Nick (Jessica) Salo; granddaughter, Rose (Aaron Kensinger) Malisani; and great granddaughters, Madelyn, Julianna, Ava, Laney, Tana, Shali, and Scarlett; sisters-in-law, Bernice Beck and Alberta Grefsrud; brother-in-law, Gary Grefsrud; and others.

A memorial service will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Benefis Peace Hospice, 2600 15th Ave S, Great Falls, MT 59405.
