I graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1977. Mr. Rimlinger, or Mr. Hawk, as we sometimes called him, is talked about to this day, with love and respect by those of us who knew him. I am sure he will be missed by all who loved him.

Mr. Rimlinger is fondly remembered as an excellent mentor when I attended St. Mary´s High School. His brilliance was evident as was his compassion. Those two attributes left an indelible mark on my life. I am grateful his journey intersected with mine. God give him heaven! My condolences to his family and all who mourn his passing.

Dear Family,
I was Gary's student assistant for a couple years at St. Mary's and loved working and learning from him. He had a good spirit working with us high schoolers, and I am sad to hear of his passing. The Hawk is flying high now.....RIP
