Very sad news. RIP Gary.
I am so sorry to hear about Gary passing away. He was a great man and a great police officer. RIP
So heartbreaking! Rest in Eternal Peace Gary and love and prayers for Lisa and family.
So very sorry. Lisa our prayers are with you and Taylar.
Gary was a remarkable athlete and cop. As a cancer survivor, he used his second chance to live a full and active life. He was a wonderful family man, and loved his wife Lisa. I will miss Gary, he was a wonderful friend.
Gary was my FTO Sgt just before I was promoted. He was always supportive and we had fun. I never forgot when after newly promoted, myself and new Sgt. Diane Urbin, got off the jitney to relieve officers at an abortion protest, and Gary shouts,”Hey, I guess anyone can get promoted, just look around!” I laughed so hard at such a great slam joke. Diane wasn’t laughing but Gary was smart, a quick wit, and funny. I will miss that friendly, supportive, San Jose Police veteran.
