Gary D. Bumgarner, O.D.

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. I was just up to visit him last year. We sat on a bench outside in his yard at the pond while he fed his fish. He was a great man and an inspiration to me and many others.

may Gary rest in peace. He was a good man!

My condolences to the family. I just heard about Gary´s passing. I served with Gary in the Washington State House of Representatives. I visited in Gary´s home, the trophy room, breath-taking deck, etc. He was a wonderful person and we worked well together. I haven´t seen him for many years, but I miss him knowing that he passed. Thank you all for sharing him with me and so many!

Gary was bigger than life with fingers in so many community and International pies. My husband was delighted to know his optometrist was passionate about Wildlife Habitat, so we jumped right in. I could fill a page, but no time. We're thankful for being included in Celebrations at the German American Society. He had an official hunting suit, so people would be wondering if he was a local or not. Gary had a fantastic singing voice and used it for the good of others. That's what we musicians...

Dr. Bumgarner was a wonderful optometrist and friend, serving three generations of our family. He saved my eyesight when I was just a little girl, for which I am eternally grateful. He cared about his patients and always made us feel like we were important to him. He was truly a remarkable man in all his activities and interests. Love to Sylvia and the family.

GARY WAS OUR FAMILY'S EYE DR. FOR MANY YEARS. HE DIAGNOSED MY EYE PROBLEM WHEN OTHER EYE DR'S SAID I WAS IN THE BEGINNING STAGE OF GLAUCOMA. AFTER DOING SEVERAL TESTS HE FOUND THAT IT WAS A BIRTH DEFECT AND NOT GLAUCOMA. THANK YOU, GARY. THANKS TO YOU MY EYESIGHT IS PERFECT AND SO ARE ALL MY FAMILY MEMBERS,
