Happy birthday Gary. It´s a new day with a new story. The ones who have loved you will help to start a new chapter in your life´s story. May all unanswered questions become clear and may your new beginning set you free today. Although I am not there, I am there in the spirit, laughter, love and exuberance of everything else that lives on in your name....

Four years since you have been gone and so many wonderful days in the lives of your daughters and grandbabies have been spent speaking of you and sharing sweet memories of you with them.

Thinking of you on your birthday and wishing all of your loved ones a beautiful day, in your memory...

Gary helped with a knee injury my senior year at Jefferson High School. I proceeded to play basketball at Skyline college where Gary helped me overcome not only an injury but inspired me to follow in his footsteps in becoming a certified athletic trainer. I cannot express how important Gary influenced me in caring for injured athletes physical injuries but also overcoming the mental strain of getting back onto the playing field. His legacy will always be in my heart.

Another year has gone by and you would be so proud of your girls...Three grandchildren and they continue to make their mark and spread goodness throughout this crazy world. Thinking of you on this day to be remembered...

Happy Birthday!

Thinking of you today and wishing you could experience the flourishing of your legacy ....an amazing young grandson and another grandchild on the way....all made possible with your gift to all of us...your zest for life...thank you Gary.

You cared , you pushed me beyond what I thought was possible, you made me what I became not only as a player but as a man. I thank GOD for putting you in my life for you were and all ways will be a true Blessing!! It was you who opened your home and heart to me in my darkest of times and showed me the way back to light. I will never forget you and I will forever love you!! I know youre making Heaven a better place as you did here on earth. Rest my friend......HAC

I missed leaving a wish for your birthday, even though you were on my mind that day. The world is a different place right now, but you would be making everyone laugh if you were here. Your grandson would be so in love with you, no doubt. Please know you will still live on in our minds and in the minds of your future family...Happy Birthday Gary.

Thinking of all who miss your gift of life force and humor.....rest in peace Gary.

Gary was my mentor as I tore my right medial meniscus in high school my senior year. He was able to tape me up in order to play in my final high school playoff game at Skyline College where I attended the next two years . Playing basketball and being a member of Skyline Colleges first state championship team. His patience and care eventually led me to a career in Athletic Training where I have been taking care of injuries for the past forty years. His devotion to his clients was unparalleled. I have been blessed in my life because of Gary.

Rest in peace my old buddy, will never forget you.

Sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Good friend at SSFHS. Attended CSM together. When I came back from Vietnam Nam we got together he was at San Jose State playing soccer. I watch him play in several matches. They made the NCAA final, saw several matches at Stanford. Gary was a very caring person. I would see him when he had the clinic in Brentwood in SSF.

Old friend , played Pony League baseball with ( his dad Ralph was the coach ) , went to high school with , same class . I always remember Gary as mister hustle ! Full of energy , never thought of anything but putting all his energy into what ever he was involved in . Good old friend , thankfully I was able to touch base with Gary and have a very nice conversation with a few months before his passing , hell be missed !

You made your family and friends proud. You are a cherished, precious memory.....Gene Hessler

Gary was many things to many people. I have many fond memories of him that will stay with me always...the joy we shared at the birth of our daughters Bria & Amber and the gifts he gave to each of them, one the gift of healing others and the other the gift of surrounding others with pure joy...such a wonderful legacy.
At times I can still almost hear him shouting out in joyous anticipation "Let it happen Sea Captain!"
And last but certainly not least, I will always remember this, a coat. Gary always loved to give the gift of a coat. I think it meant a great deal to him to give someone a coat...a coat would keep you warm, it would surround you with his love and caring, it was something from him that could be with you when you wore it. Yes, a lovely coat that was given with love. To all of us who were lucky enough to receive a coat from him, we knew we were loved.
Joan, Bria, Amber, Nadessa & Yali I hope all the wonderful memories you have of Gary will give you comfort the rest of your lives, as the memories I have of him will do for me.

I am so sorry that I did not get to spend some time with Gary before he passed
We had some great times at So. City High. He was one tough guy. So glad to hear
that he touched so many lives. RIP Buddy...you did a great job!

Joan, we are here for you! Holding you in our hearts.

Gary is my wife's, Connie, first cousin. After decades of being out of touch, Gary and his wonderful wife Joan came to our house in Eureka and shared last Christmas with us. To say it was long overdue is an understatement. To say it was a heart-warming and memorable rendezvous only scratches the surface. Gary shared stories and updated family history that only he could being 12 years older than Connie. Many funny, some surprising and often times telling them with a tear in his eye. It was a sentimental and wonderful reunion. We will never forget that Christmas. He loved my wife's father who played a large and important role in Gary's childhood, so his stories were heartfelt. We also learned much about Gary's interesting life and what a fine man he was. He shared everything and in a short few days Gary was accepted as the brother my wife and her sisters never had. I know I will not forget Gary and I am certain my wife and her sisters will not either. It is bittersweet that he came back into their lives after so long and then was taken away so quickly but we so appreciate the little time we had and will be a part of Joan and Gary's daughters' lives hence forward. God bless you Gary - thank you for leaving the world a better place. We will miss you.
