Not sure what to say?

Just received this message because Iwas having problems with my email . Mr. Torre was am amazing person to work for as well as Mrs. Torre. It was always a pleasure to do a painting project at there beautiful estate in Oakland . I would love to share a moment. One day while my brother and I had been painting on the West side of his home he came to the patio and asked if we would like to join them for lunch. And my brother Tony replied we are just pheasants and that is very nice of you ....

Gary Toree was great, wise and kind man

What a wonderful caring man was Gary Torre. I first met him in the early 1980's as he assisted us in drawing up our first wills and he thoughtfully guided us in considering guardians for our sons should something happen to us. He was so understanding when the mere thought of such a thing brought tears to my eyes. I am thankful for the memories of this gentle soul. I hope the memories of others keep him present in their lives too.

Gary Torre was one of those people that you occasionally are privileged to meet and have the pleasure of knowing socially and in business. A finer gentleman I know of none(except my own Dad who knew him from his days at the Lillick Law firm )! My best wishes to all of his family and especially his loving wife Carol. All of my love to all his family and friends of this outstanding human being...I just heard of his death today and the service this past Saturday as I no longer live in San...

Gary's friendship meant so much to our family over decades. Sending blessings to all of you,
