Gary Paul Schmidt

I especially think that Gary was a kind tutor and he was helpful but I was in disbelief that he died but always willing to help me especially the others as well that needed it. Overall I am going to miss him God Bless him and his family I am going to miss you so much even with your enthusiasm. Rest In Peace Gary.

I just heard about this sad news today and I am in disbelief. I had known Gary since 2005. He was a good friend, colleague; we taught and tutored together at Harper College. A kind person that always willing to help you and his students genuinely. I miss him a lot and pray for his family.
Rest In Peace Gary.

Gary was my tutor at harper college. He was so kind and so helpful. I feel sad about his passing and send my condolences to his loved ones. May he rest in peace. God bless.

Gary is such a good tutor whenever I needed Help and I was unaware about this until today overall he was such a good teacher and I will miss him and I felt sad after hearing about this.

Gary and I taught math together at Harper College for many years. He was always such a great friend and ready to provide any help when the need arose. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. He will be very missed!

I´m so sorry to hear of Gary´s passing. I taught with him at Harper College, where Gary was an excellent longtime adjunct and will be greatly missed! It will be strange not seeing him in the mailroom/copy room, or hearing his distinctive voice in the hall. I will always remember the huge box of pencils a student donated to the entire math department in recognition of the kind, caring, and competent math instruction this admittedly math-anxious student had received at Harper, particularly from Gary, whom the student mentioned by name in her letter. My deepest sympathies to Gary´s family. He leaves behind a great legacy.

I´m so very sorry to hear that Gary has passed away. I taught with him at Elgin High School and then for many years at Harper College. He was so very kind, generous with his support of his students and his colleagues, and always welcoming and quick to smile. Myself and those he´s taught with and tutored with in the DMC at Harper will truly miss him. Please let us know if there is any particular way we can honor his life.
