My deepest sympathies to all of you in the loss of your brother and family member in this very difficult time. I remember Dr. DeMuth's kindness when I was first starting out learning how to do claims at the Agency. He will be missed.

Having had the pleasure to work with Dr. Demuth, I am very saddened to hear of his passing. I will miss him. My sympathies to Dr. Demuth's family & friends. Dr. David Demuth, I'm so sorry that you lost a brother & a colleague.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I worked with him at BDD for many years and found him to be knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and very funny. He always asked about my elderly mother, whom he had never met. He could always make me laugh, and called me "Sunshine" -- which was either a term of affection or because he had trouble remembering my name! I chose to believe the former. My deepest condolences to his family. He certainly will be missed.

Especially warm condolences to Gary's brother, Dr. Dave DeMuth, also a valued colleague at the BDD for many years.

My deepest sympathies go out to your family. Dr DeMuth liked to come into my office with a piece of paper and give me heck about a claim I assigned him. He was a very nice man and I will miss working with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr. DeMuth worked in my project unit several years ago and was one of the reasons for the project's success. He was very kind and had a good sense of humor. He was also very approachable and easy to talk to when discussing cases in our office. His case knowledge and demeanor will be missed. To his family, God bless all of you.

Dr. Demuth, Dr. D, was in my unit for over 3 years, this particular unit was a "teaming unit" and we got to know Dr. D. very well. He was one of those rare people who could give as well as receive a joke. Dr. D was a very kind and thoughtful person who will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends.
