Not sure what to say?

Still have great memories of our Sheriff's Department days. While gone, he will not be forgotten. A respected man and a gentleman.

Still have the 'good memories' of our 'good times' together. A real gentleman.

I never had the opportunity to meet Henry Gilpin in person, but was an avid collector of his photographs. Living in the UK; I know his work has touch people all over the world and I would like to thank him for sharing his passion and skill with so many. RIP

I had the opportunity to meet Henry and Doris when I lived in California. Henry was to photography what Aaron Copland was to music. His presence will continue amongst us through the images he created. My thoughts are with Doris and the Gilpin Family.

I studied photography and photographed with Henry throughout the 70's and 80's. I was always impressed with his impeccable attention to detail and consider him to be one of the best photographic printers. His images speak for themselves. He was a gentle man, and all who knew him knew that he was a man's man. A man of strength and character. I am honored to have known him and his lovely wife Doris. My sympathies to Doris and his family.

It is with great sadness that I learn of Henry's passing. I first met Henry in 1971 and found a gentle man dedicated to photography and sharing his vision with students in his presence. I returned to other workshops, taught by Henry, to continue learning and being counseled by Henry.
I am bless to have several images by Henry but most of all the vivid and wonderful memories of a giant among men.
My sympathies to Doris Gilpin and the family.

Henry was a fantastic artist and a gentle soul. I'm glad I had a chance to know him and hear some of the stories behind his work. I'll miss him, and extend my deepest sympathies to Doris and his entire family.

Henry was a real light in the photography department at MPC. An excellent educator, he was knowledgeable, unpretentious and patient. In a field often dominated by egos, he was a breath of fresh air.

Doris, Jean and Jimmy - I'm so sorry for your loss. Ted was one of my most favorite people. He was such a calming influence. And really, has there ever been a more handsome law officer?

I think of him often because every time I visit my mother I see his beautiful photographs. I hope your sadness flees as quickly as possible and is replaced with all the wonderful memories you have of him.
