Gary Simendinger

Mr. Simendinger, Thank you for your inspiration and commitment to your students. Your dedication to the Bridges program helped to change my life and my view of my community. "Imortaility lies not in the things we leave behind but in the lives that we have touched" -Because you have tocuhed so many lives you will live forever in the hearts of those that were blessed to know you.

i just wanted to say gary had a huge impact on me. Before his class i hated art the only thing i appreciated in life was sports. From my experience in his class it made me want to pursue some art classes in college. Thank you for everything you will be dearly missed by the community.

Connie & girls; We never had the pleasure of meeting you all or Gary, but through my sister Patty & Dale we feel like we know you. Words can not describe the sorrow we have for you & your family, I have heard so much about all of you & it breaks my heart to know the pain you are going through. Gary was very loved by alot of people & will continue to be for all the good he did for everyone.
Everytime I talk to Patty & Dale my heart breaks more & more for all of you, Dale misses his...

Dear Connie,
Jan and I are so sad to have heard about the loss of Gary. I remember him as a dear friend and brother (SAE). Gary was one of the most approachable and friendly people I've ever known. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry for your loss. The Yinger-Simendinger families were very good friends.

There are no words that can comfort you now. In time, you will be able to look back and appreciate the wonderful life you and Gary had together. Things will get better. I will always remember his smile.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family members.

Connie,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The world has lost a special soul. We have many fond memories of you, Gary and Clay at the little house beside the Little Horse. Gary's zest for life and smile will live in our hearts forever. May God wrap his loving arms around you at this difficult time. May you find peace through your beautiful daughters Rozi & Carley.
God Bless!

Dear Connie and Girls,
There are no words to express how deeply touched I was when mom (Beverly Kirby) sent me the information from Iris. I was stunned!! I have said so many prayers for you and the girls and hope that you are finding comfort in God's wonderful and boundless love. The girls and I so enjoyed our day with you at the Reunion. Zoe is still talking about it and wanting a play date with the girls again. You both made us feel so at home and the Scrabble game was so great. ...
