i was merely Gary's mailman for a couple few years (at Crown), but the kindest man one could meet. He always had a story, joke or some chocolate for his pal the mailman. i noted he made everyone feel as if they were the only one that mattered when he was speaking to you. Gary had a sense that he cared about you because he genuinely did. May G*D Bless you as you carry on his legacy. Marc

Sometimes people who pass on fade from memory. Gary will never fade from my memory. Not just because of his Redding longevity, but because of who he was and still is. A person of empathy, generosity and humor, all of which served his exceptional business acumen. He was steadfast even as his family suffered its own losses. His customers truly felt welcome, the occasional teases conveying nothing but affection. Give the people something back, he would say, even down to the jar of free nickels for the parking meter. He was a friend and I will miss him.

Gary had a special way of calmly educating photo buffs, and with deep caring. He helped put me on the right track in photography, and I felt reassured, more prepared and more confident after a consultation with him. R.I.P. Gary.

Great deal of fondness for Gary. Kid he'd say what's cooking anything new? It was done with sincere respect he asked... Kindness oozed from Gary.... loved to prank helped me pull one fun Prank off of past Redding Police Chief Poletti. Gary was an amazing listener . He was part of many recap discussions in our PRO meetings right after the PMA trade shows. Thank you Gary for being one of the many that made a difference in our Photo Industry and my life. God Bless you ....
