Gary A. Wilson

Gary was one of the most incredible men I ever got the chance to meet. He was not just my tutor at New Haven Reads, he was a father figure, he was my mentor. This man watched me grow up and supported me through everything. He sat at my 8th grade graduation and encouraged me to follow my dreams. I sit here 5 years later missing him every day. But because of his support and memory I found the strength to go to college during a pandemic and see it to the end. In December I will be graduating...

I met Gary through his wife Karen. He was a very nice, funny and amicable man. Very cool and could hold a good conversation. Glad I got to meet him. I only wish we had more time to chat. Gone but never forgotten. May he Rest in Peace and will keep him and his family in prayers. Amen!

We met Gary and Karen through our mutual friends Wojtek and Henry. At barbeques and dinner gatherings, Gary would engage all with fascinating stories and amusing anecdotes. Gary had that unique ability to connect with everyone and anyone. We will always remember Gary as a kind, witty, thoughtful and generous person and we will and do miss him. Karen, our heartfelt condolences to you.

Dear Karen & family...I was lucky to have known Gary thru our shared time at the dog park. He was gentle, giving & so funny...I loved talking with him as we watched his gorgeous FCRs race around with Jessie (and occasionally the poodles). He was a generous and good man who added peace, light & laughter to the world. I am so so sorry for your loss.

Dear Karen, Jane told me the bad news. I want to give you my condolences. I only had the chance to meet you both a few times. During those few times I knew immediately that Gary was a lovely man, so are you. I will never forget you. Big hugs and kisses from across the ocean, Belgium. Monique Aerts

Gary was an amazing man who was dedicated to teaching and enriching the lives of our students at New Haven Reads. Generous, kind, patient, and funny, Gary sparked a love of learning for his students, honing in on what they found interesting and planning his lessons around it. He was greatly admired by his students and the staff at NHR and we will never forget him. Our deepest condolences to Karen and his family. May you find peace in your memories and joy in his love.

I miss you and will love you always. thank you for 35 years.
Karen
