Not sure what to say?

He was a friend, for a time a cousin-by-marriage, kind, a guy with a wicked sense of humor, very smart, patient, with a large dose of humility. Those who knew him are lucky and blessed as was he to have been part of a loving family.

Had the privilege of knowing and serving with Garry in Vietnam. I am saddened by our loss. He is not forgotten.

I just found out today that Dr. Gardner had passed away. Dr. Gardner was a kind and gentle person. Our deepest condolences to all of you.

I'm sorry this is so late, but I just found out about Dr. Gardner today. He was a wonderful doctor to my three children. They are all grown now but I still remember him so fondly and recall how kind and compassionate he always was.

Dr. Gardner not only took care of my children but when my granddaughters needed a pediatrician, he took care of them. His caring for his patients was from his heart. After my daughter's college physical, he laughed and said "I still see the bologna in your ear!" Must be something in our family genes because he said the same thing to my little granddaughters. The world was a better place because of Dr. Gardner! You will be truly missed on this earth but will be in our hearts forever.

My condolences to the family of Mr Garner, may the God of all comfort be with you in this time of sadness.

Dr. Gardner was such a wonderful doctor. I feel very blessed that he took care of my daughter, even into college. He was so compassionate and he would always say, "If she is not better by ____, call me" and I knew he meant it! My prayers go out to his family. The Perzek Family
