Always remembered. A one of a kind doctor and friend. Our friendship was limited to visits at his practice. We shared mutual acquaintances and similar life events. As a doctor, he will never be equaled and has been unreplaceable. He has spoiled me for the rest of my days. Truly missed and always thought of.

Dr Pynckel was my doctor for 19 years. I would show up first thing in the morning for my appt he would see me from behind the counter and say ,, oh god now what do you want !!! He always had the best Sense of humor. He would say your not gonna like me after I stick this 16 gauge needle in your knee. Hahaha. Im so sad he´s gone. He really was someone very special . I´ve never know of a doctor that could do so many different things.

Dr. Pynckel dedicated all his knowledge to helping people regain their health. He helped me through a difficult time, offering me natural ways to get me back on track. I am a N.D., and referred some of my clients who needed his expertise. He took such good care of all of us. I am thankful for having had him for my Doctor. Thank you, his family, for all the sacrifices of his time to help us
that may have taken away some precious family time from you. He will be missed and remembered for a very long time. I am still praying for all of you family members.

We are so saddened to have him go much before his time. We discovered Dr. Pynckel only last year when we were searching for ozone treatment. One thing we had in common was that we both loved our Corvettes and body building. Shucks, now where do we go from here?

Not just my Doctor for 20 years since I came to Florida, but considered him a friend. Our time was limited to appointments at the office, but we always talked, laughed and treated each other as friends. A great loss, A great Doctor, A great person. You will be missed Gary, and my sincere condolences to all of your family.

Deborah and Joy and family

So sad to hear of Gary´s passing. Gary and other neighborhood guys were friends of brother Lewis and my little brothers.

I am sure Lewis, Joe, Joe and Gary are celebrating their reunion like the old days and our Moms and Dads loving it it also.

May they Rest In Peace.
