Gary Jack Casella

I knew Gary and his brother Paul since McKinley Elementary School where Gary was the winner of the Burbank City Yo-yo championship contest circa 1948 or 49. Gary was a good friend throughout our school days a thereafter. I bought many Christmas Trees from him and saw him up at Lake Almanor . Miss him.

A great pal and my catcher in Burbank. We delivered produce for his Dad on Saturday. Marie cooked for us. Great memories.

Gary was my Jr. High School baseball team mate. He was my catcher and a great one. We played on numerous teams together and also were bat boys for the St. Louis Browns who did their spring training then at the Olive Recreation Center in Burbank. RIP my great friend. Fritz Duda

Rest in peace. A great, and a generous friend. He went out of his way to help. Best advices to me was given by him. I miss him.

I made wreaths at Christmas Creek when Gary lived in Washington. Gary called me the "Candy Cane Lady" because I made the Candy Cane shaped wreaths. He was positive and encouraging. My prayers are with Gary's family and friends at this time.

Gary and I played varsity football together at Burbank High School in our senior year 1955. He was a great team mate, fellow Italian American, and true gentleman. I enjoyed seeing him at our class reunions where he always seemed to be the center of attention. Rest in Peace my friend.

LOVED GARY...BEST FRIEND TO DAVID AND MYSELF !!!
