Gary Menteer

Gary was a guest dance teacher at the Edwina Banta Dance Studio in La Porte, TX and I was one of his students. He was maybe 15-year-old and we were in our early teens. He was brilliant even then. Later when we heard of his success in New York none of us were surprised. We followed his career and saw that his accomplishments just grew even greater, one success after another. I just found this Memories site and wanted to say thank you, Gary.

Miss you Uncle Gary. Rest well. Loved visiting with you and checking out Family Matters

❤

Gary, Still loving you. Joey is doing well. Rest well. Love Deborah

Gary, hope you enjoying your place in heaven. I'm sure you are meeting up with friends. ❤

I love you Gary. Think of you often. I'll check on Joey ❤

When I first arrived in NYC, hoping to land a show as a dancer, I was cast in "Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen", a musical based on "Teahouse of the August Moon", a Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The choreographer's assistant was this marvelous, gorgeous blonde, Gary Menteer. He was so personable and so helpful in teaching all of us cast members the choreography for all the numbers. When the show closed, we all went our separate ways. Years later, as I was leaving the theater of my 2nd...

I can't believe how time has flown by!

I knew Gary in 1992 for a short time and he was a caring Loving person, we went to the Equestrian center for the love of horses, Joey I am so glad to see you were still with him after all these years. Love Forever, Jerry Lee Strealy
