Gary Peter Klahr

I bumped into Gary on occasion. He was fun to be around.

Thank you Gary for being the best lawyer I will ever know.

I had lunch with Gary often at the Spaghetti Factory. He was a brilliant lawyer and a great advocate for victims rights. He was an amazing go to guy when a session was about to start and a rebuttal was needed.
May he rest in peace, knowing that he had such a positive affect on so many lives. Mine included.

Missing my employer, grandfather figure, friend, mentor. I was his caregiver for the last five years of his life, up until the last days. Saw him make progress, but I believe our Lord needed him more. He was a blessing and a lesson in my life. What I've learned from him is that Life is to precious. May you rest in Peace.

Gary Peter Klahr was a fine man and exemplary citizen. We went to school with his younger brother Eddie at Longview Elementary. We liked Eddie. He was kind and never hurt anyone.

Civil rights, civil liberties, housing, education, election law, and on and on. I'll miss his random but strategic and insightful phone calls and my dropping-in unannounced to his house for wise counsel on the fly. Rest in peace, GPK.

I met Gary Peter Klahr when he acted as peace negotiator between my mother & I in 1968, when I was 15 years old and and an avid follower of the counter culture politics of the times,which my mother hated. He for whatever reason, took an interest in me during the next few years and mentored me politically, having me appointed to the Phoenix Mayor's Commission on Youth and the Community Organization for Drug Abuse Control. He and his brother Bruce later employed me for several years at the...

Knew Gary in the 70's through our involvement in the Phoenix Jaycees. A real trooper who 'walked the walk' RIP Gary.
