Gary Vernon Gottschalk

Deepest condolences from Bruce radford and all ups friends!

Mayor Gottschalk and my husband, John Poindexter, worked closely together on various projects concerning senior citizens. He kept John busy doing video and still photography. John videotaped many of the summer outdoor Community concerts. I was pleased that he honored our family by coming to John's Memorial and making kind remarks.

My deepest condolences, the mayor has always been there for everyone in Oakwood village. He always showed up at your door when someone passed away in Oakwood, he was there for my mom when my dad passed away and was there for my family when my mom passed away! He showed up for funerals which I thought was so special, he always made you feel like family not just a resident of the village! He is going to truly be missed!

In loving memory of Gary V. Gottschalk. A great leader of Oakwood Village. You were a good and kind man that treated me with love and respect. I will never forget you. Your too soon gone. I was ready to take care of you. You will forever be in my memory and heart. Rest in peace My sincerest condolences to the Gottschalk family. Mildred Peebles Bedford, OH

May God remember the soul of Mayor Gottschalk in His Heavenly Kingdom. I had the honor of representing Oakwood Village in the General Assembly for 8 years, and Mayor Gary was always tremendous to work with.

He devoted so much of his life to his constituents, truly a tremendous advocate. To Gary's family, may you be assuaged of his loss by our Lord...

It is with great sadness to hear Mayor Gottschalk has passed away. We were introduced to the Mayor by my husband's UPS colleague,Jimmy Reed.

Rest in peace
