Gary D. Tidball

Gary was such a blessing and gift in the life of my family. Many years ago we came into a season of terrifying financial difficulty. During that season we got connected with Love INC at our home church, Forest Park Covenant. Gary sat down with us to hear what was going on and shared his heart of belief for us. We had never felt so helpless as we did in that time and he spoke hope and love to us. We paid off so much debt and did, indeed come out of it victorious. Gary and Margaret, along...

So many adjectives to describe Gary: honest, diligent, trustworthy, loyal, caring...As all will confirm, you will be greatly missed. Time spent with Gary was always time well spent. The world was simply a better place with you in it.

I have fond memories of my days at Teledyne Continental Motors 76 Getty St plant from the mid 70's to mid 80'S. Gary was a highly respected and admired example of leadership in management. I don't think I ever heard an unkind word about him from anyone that knew him. He will no doubt be missed by many. Rest in peace with the Lord of Lords my friend. Well done!!

Gary, you are missed deeply already. This world was a better place with you in it. Your quick wit, intelligence and devotion to God, your Family and multiple volunteer endeavors are one of a kind and will not be forgotten. Rest in peace my Friend. Until we meet again!

There was an immediate connection from the moment we met, and although we only knew each other for a short time, the mark he left is permanent. In fact, I´ll forever cherish this moment as a favorite... a day Gary brought his friends to see Love Cafe and take a photo. We walked back to the bus together, and shortly after everyone was seated we shared some precious moments together in prayer... That was the last time, until the next time brother. Thank you, Mr. Tidball and...

We've known Gary for many years through our church affiliation. He was a good friend and always greeted you with smile. We will miss him on our Forest Park Covenant Golf League, and I will miss him at our occasional breakfasts. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend his memorial as we are in Florida. But we Will see him again.

Angels in heaven are rejoicing, you have come to sit by their side. Gary, I miss our talks about our lives. Yours was so very rich. You loved your family and the Lord greatly. To Gary's family, hold your memories close to your heart. He will be waiting for all of you when you pass over. I reside where Gary did. Betty Mayberry

My sincere condolences to the family. I worked at Forest Park Covenant Church for 18 years and Gary was always one of my favorite people. He was always professional, organized, and friendly. He had a denim jacket that I loved and I always joked he could leave it to me. When I would see him I´d say, I see you´re wearing my jacket. We would both laugh. RIP, Gary. You are now with the love of your life and have seen Jesus face to face. Glory!

Sympathies to his family. I worked at United Way and Gary was a much respected volunteer. I enjoyed working with him.
