Not sure what to say?

Gary was one of the most kind, decent and generous people I've ever known. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. His passing is a loss to our entire community as well. I was very proud of how Gary took up music relatively late in life and progressed to playing multiple instruments in ensembles. He took every precaution to spare his patients discomfort and I always got the best possible treatment when he was my dentist. It was obvious how much he cared for the patients and...

Rick and Joni, Please accept my deepest sympathies about Gary. I've never lost a sibling, but I'm sure it's tragic. I didn't know him, but after reading the obituary, I think we would have enjoyed each other's company. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Looking forward to seeing you on the courts or out walking!

Dr. Rick was my dentist, but I would see Dr. Gary in passing when I would go into the office. He was such a nice man. My prayers are with Dr. Gary and his family.

Rick and family we are so sorry to hear about your brother Gary both of you are so nice we had a wonderful dentist for years and years I am praying for your family and God is taking good care of Gary God bless

My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He was my family dentist for many years. He had a great sense of humor and cared about his patients. He often said he wasn´t going to get rich off me because I never had any cavities. :-) When my daughter was young she liked going to Dr. Simms because he was gentle and funny. He will always be our favorite dentist of all time. RIP Dr. Simms.

Gary was a man of many talents. He was my dentist until he retired and became a friend as well.
