Adolph Gasser

John, your family will always hold special memories for me. We shared so many years together some great and some bad, just like family, but we always came through. Deepest sympathy and fondest memories. Bobby Garrett (Covey)

To All the Gasser Family,

Adolph, will always be in my heart and prayers. THE PHOTOGRAPHERS, PHOTOGRAPHER.

Thanks for the years that I worked for the Gasser, then I was able to go on to become a real photographer.

Dear John and Family,
I always thought your Dad would out live all of us! He was one of the most amazing people I have known in my lifetime. I always loved stopping by the shop and talking to him and he always made me feel like an old friend. I just had lunch with Ed Witts and we reminisced about you and your Dad and the old days, it was really great. Your Dad will be missed by every single person who knew him.

Love To You, Ellen and Your Entire Family

To The Gasser Family,

My heart goes out to you all tonight upon learning of Adolph's passing. WHAT A GREAT MAN HE WAS TO SO MANY! He gave so many of us a "foot in the door" to the photo/video world and I know I wouldn't be where I am now without his help and encouragement. So many fond memories of working with a great group of people, and Adolph always there with kind words of praise, good advice, and a bone crushing handshake! Take good care, John and family, I hope to visit soon...

My father, Clark Franklin, was a photograher in SF many years ago and counted Adolph as one of his friends. My father died in 1954 and at that time had a studio on Clement Street. He often spoke of
your father and valued their friendship. Seeing your father's obituary brought back many memories of the photographic
world in the old days of San Francisco. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.

My most heartfelt sympathy to all. John, I can relate a bit, My dad is in the same section of the paper today. I am one of many you helped as a kamera krazy kid, an employee and later, a professional. John, you we're one of the few who offered me credit when I started up. I owe much to my time spent on both sides of the counter, Not so much with Adolph, but the rest of the extended "family" there. Adolph was more the Icon...with that cotton-soft voice and iron-vice handshake.
