Gary Lemke

I played football at Paw Paw and coach Lemke was one of the coaches. It was 1970-1972 and just wanted to say what an unforgettable guy he was. And this is going back 50+ years! Fond memories of him, coach Salvano & Woodside. RIP coach & God bless, Bill Keselowski (PPHS class of 1972)

Miss you "old friend". Think often of the good times we had.

We just became aware of Gary's passing and feel so bad about not attending the services. Many fond memories of camping,fishing, and coaching during those wonderful Paw Paw years. Gary and his family will be forever in our prayers.
Good bye, good friend.

I just noted Gary's passing. I went to grade school and high school with him where we played football. We left together for WMU. We did speak about six months ago and we relived some great times. I have wonderful memories. My thoughts are with his family.

To the family of Gary Lemke. Gary was indeed a humorous fellow with a kind heart and many loyalties. Gary was a good man who touched many lives. He will be missed.

I was very hurt to know that my good friend had died. Gary loved mankind without prejudice. Gary started the KCC Eclectic Chorale in his department until the music department could change their mindset and welcome the choir to their department. The choir continued and was succesful for twenty-five years. Gary supported the choir every step of the way. His kindness will never be forgotten. I am sure the angels will be singing to Gary everyday. What a wonderful spirit. He will be missed. ...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. Gary was my boss at KCC and I will always remember how he gave me encouragment to do what I dreamed not just what I had to.

Farewell to you my team mate and friend.
