Gary Eldon Engell

i was merely Gary's mailman for a couple few years (at Crown), but the kindest man one could meet. He always had a story, joke or some chocolate for his pal the mailman. i noted he made everyone feel as if they were the only one that mattered when he was speaking to you. Gary had a sense that he cared about you because he genuinely did. May G*D Bless you as you carry on his legacy. Marc

Blessings Until we meet again in Heaven. In the meantime, may the angels keep you smiling.

Sometimes people who pass on fade from memory. Gary will never fade from my memory. Not just because of his Redding longevity, but because of who he was and still is. A person of empathy, generosity and humor, all of which served his exceptional business acumen. He was steadfast even as his family suffered its own losses. His customers truly felt welcome, the occasional teases conveying nothing but affection. Give the people something back, he would say, even down to the jar of free nickels...

What a wonderful man, you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Crown Camera Family.

Jeff and family...Nancy and I send our deepest sympathy to you. Gary will be remembered as a great Redding businessman and a great Father. I enjoyed knowing him and doing business at Crown Camera.

Great friend and a great Rotarian. He welcomed me to Redding and I always welcomed his wise counsel. Gary was a man to admire and respect. -- Tom King, Knoxville, TN
