Gail was born January 28, 1948 to Robert and Audrey (Bayne) Brummund in Grand Island, NE. He was the 2nd child of 5. Gail received his education in the Giltner Public Schools where he was involved with band and sports. He played basketball, football and participated in track while in high school in addition to helping on the family farm and working for other farmers in the area. He attended Central Community College in Hastings and graduated from IBM school in Kansas City. Gail went to work for Overland National Bank in Grand Island in their computer department when the department took up the whole basement of the building. He later moved into banking itself and worked his way up from teller to Vice President becoming a Loan officer. During his 42 years of banking, he completed the Basic School of Banking courses traveling around the country to take the classes. He always had great concern for his customers. In addition to banking, he was a “gentleman farmer”, helping on the family farm nights and weekends. He had a strong connection to the land and loved the farming. He realized that his “happy place” ‘was driving a tractor back and forth across the land. Gail married Debbra Bonsack on December 21, 1969. They were blessed with three sons Barry, Brian, and Bradley. Gail loved teaching his sons the ins and outs of fishing and spent many weekends at the lake. He also enjoyed attending their school and sporting events and playing catch in the backyard. He loved being a father. And then he got to become a grandpa to Gavin, Matthew, Sam, Katie, and Marin Brummund. What a joy this was in his life. He had fun riding 4 wheelers at the farm when the grandkids were old enough, engaging in water gun battles, and teaching them to fish. Gail was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church for many years where he served on various boards and committees. He also served the Grand Island community by participating in service organizations such as Lions Club and Jaycees. Gail is survived by his wife of 53 years, Deb, his sons and families: Barry, Jennifer, Matthew and Katie; Brian and Emily; Brad, Jennifer, Gavin, Sam and Marin; his siblings Bob (Kandy) Brummund, Jan Brummund, Diane Pokorney and a niece and nephews.
