Thoughts today for Gary and the entire family. Many great times together talking school & football over the years while coaching/teaching @SMHS. ALWAYS fun, positive and supported all we did there. RIP my friend. Coach Bob Jimenez

Co coaching with Gary was a kick and fun time in my career. His great sense of humor and professionalism made him a pleasure to work and spend time with. I have great memories of the too short time I spent with Gar Bear. He was a genuinely good and quality person who I feel fortunate to have known.
My sincerest condolences to Sandy and family,
Wayne King

Sandi - All of our family sends love and support to you and the kids at this time. I know Gary loved his beautiful life and was grateful for the many years of happiness and labors of love by your side. He was truly a great, gentleman (and gentle man, for that matter). I loved visiting your house and riding tricycles in your driveway when Derron and I were little and enjoyed all of the neighbors we shared on School Street. It has also given me joy to see you and Gary for family night dinners at SMCC as our families have grown and expanded over the years. Love and light to you all now and in the future. Love, Jennifer Dolan (all the "Caves" of School Street and the Greeleys in Sunrise Village).

I would like to extend my condolences to the Johnson family. I played baseball with Eric in our Sinton & Brown days, and was lucky to have Mr. Johnson take time out of his day to coach us back in the day. Forever grateful.

Sandy, I am so snotty for your loss. Gary was a wonderful guy with a great attitude toward life and an enduring ability to poke fun at himself and others. Gary was always full of laughter and brought cheer to many. May he RIP and you be comforted by God's grace and your warm memories of the beautiful life you built together.
