I will always remember Gary and his open and friendly way. You would never know what he was dealing with; and Sheri always warm and loving with a beautiful smile. Hope all is well! Alison Fernandez

I've known Gary since the beginnings of our careers in coaching and teaching. It always made my day to spend time with Gary. He was the most talented person I ever met in education. It's been wonderful to read other people's remembrances of Gary, and know he touched the lives of so many of us. He will be missed.

Sheri- I just read about Gary in the Lompoc Record. I am so sorry. What a wonderful man! Always warm and friendly! What a great Loss!
My thoughts are with you and your family!
