Loved Coach Jozwiak. He was truely a great one. Someone you could count on always coming through for you. He was part of a great team of coaches when I went to MHS 70-72. Someone I'll never forget.

I´m so sorry for your loss. My wife, Jodi, was a young cheerleading coach at MHS in the late 80´s (we also had 7 kids go through Bullock Creek Elementary). Anyway, we were at a Chemic game versus Bay City Central. Midland was up like 38 to 3 which was common in the era.

I didn't know Gary, but heard "of" him often in the community. He was a fine citizen and well respected. Oscar Hahn spoke of him often, as we would chat as neighbors for many years. I hope Gary's students absorbed his passion for teaching and sports. May he rest in peace.

What a great list of lifetime accomplishments!! The successes of his kids and grandkids speak volumes as to the true coach he was. Condolences.

My condolences to the Jozwiak family. Gary was my 10th grade geometry teacher at Midland High School. He was an outstanding teacher and an excellent man. May he Rest In Peace.

There are no words that can express the depth of my sorrow. Jozie´s Coaching Records speak volumes but, they are far surpassed by his record as a Human Being. Coach always found and built on the good in every person´s life that he touched. I know that my own life would be way less than full had he not taken an interest in me as an Athlete, Student and person. Jozie taught us to listen, lead and grow. May you R.I.P. Coach. I hope to meet up with you again at a major Track meet on the...
