Not sure what to say?

I remember Gary as a easy going guy who was a great athelete at WWSU, as my housemate during my Senior year and as a fellow Driver Education Teacher. Gary, Jack Hein, Jim Rife, Ken Enne, Harold Buckner and myself lived in a big old house on High Street in Bellingham during the 1961-62 school year. I look back with fond memories of the good times we shared. Gary left his loved ones way to soon and my sympathy goes out to them with the knowlegde that their loss is shared by many who knew him...

Mary Lou, Trish and Stacy, Chris and Alicia - We have been so blessed to be welcomed into your family. You and Gary have invited us into your home and your lives and we are so grateful for the years we have enjoyed Gary's friendship. Steve & I share in your sorrow. As we consider Gary's life the words that echo in our thoughts are these: "He was such a great man!" I know you will miss him deeply and we are here to stand with you whenever you need us. Love & Prayers

Mary Lou, Trisha, Chris,

During these difficult times be reassured that the lives Gary touched were better because of him. I had the opportunity to know him from the time I was very young as my father and Gary spent many years together at Issaquah High. Gary always had time for his students and athletes and we were all blessed to have had him in our lives, he will be missed.

My entire family shares your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult...

Coach Moore had a profound and positive impact on me as a student athlete at Issaquah High School. I carry his influence with me every day as I know is the case with the many young lives he touched. I'd like to offer my condolensces to his family and close friends. Thanks Coach.

To quote my brother, Larry, "A GREAT MAN! Inspired, instilled, taught and mentored alot". Larry had the good fortune of playing football as an Issaquah Indian for 3 years, '75-'77. Coach made football exciting for those on the field and for the rest of us in the stands. Great teachers and coaches teach lessons that withstand the test of time. The plays he called, the locker room 'talks' and all those other conversations he had with his student/athletes still echo in the hearts and minds...

Mary Lou, Trisha and Chris,

Our love and thoughts go to all of you. Gary's passing leaves a big hole in the heart of this family. I knew him all my life and will remember him enjoying life to the fullest, taking trips with Mary Lou and always stopping every year to visit with his Aunts, Vi and Tommie, in Carson City. He was such a good kid and grew up to be a very wonderful, decent and carrying man. He was truly a great role model for hiis children and grandchildren.

Much...

Mary Lou, Trisha and Chris: Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your Husband and Father. It is always difficult to find words of comfort at these times in our lives but I was reminded of some thing Gary wrote to me in a sympathy card he sent when Elvin passed away. He was referring to the sudden & unexpected event that happened to us and he wrote, "I don't pretend to know why, but I am convinced that ALL things happen for a reason beyond our understanding". This was a great...

Mary Lou,
May God bless you during this difficult time. He has taken both your father and husband to be with Him. Two special men who loved to coach. They are now together talking about old times and telling each other how much they love their families and friends. As Gary's friend, we cherished competing against each other. Gary was certainly a coach among coaches. He could walk his talk as a man of principle.
Be strong for your family.
