Gary was a great colleague to work with on the administrative team for BCSD. He was a real champion of the DI program, and he would be very proud of what our students at WRMS are accomplishing in DI. The trips to Spain, and the quality of our World Language department is a tribute to his groundbreaking work with our DI students and establishing the whole program. More importantly, I'll remember his sense of humor and his laugh. he made the tense times melt away with his banter and his calm demeanor. The last time I saw him we laughed and his smile was still infectious. I miss him.

We were out of country traveling when I first heard of Gary's passing. Nancy and family I know you have so much to be thankful for from Gary and I trust that will be a help to you all as you deal with this loss. Gary is truly a loss to all with his kind caring and helpful positive ways as a man and especially as a teacher and principal. I was truly blessed to be his principal and then to be a principal colleague. I always ask why do the good ones so often leave early and my only solace comes from the ancient greeks who basically said that all life has a beginning and an end and we really do not get to choose either.

Dearest Nancy and family, It has been over a month now since Gary's passing.....and our hearts still break. Gary influenced our lives in such a beautiful way. His adoration and interest in the lives of our children and his mentorship to us as administrators are his gifts to the Martinez family. His heart was forever honest and sincere! Seeing him last summer was a blessing - so full of that big smile and wanting to know how we all were doing. May your family be comforted knowing how he touched our lives and influenced us in such a positive way to carry on his love of education and passion for life! Peace be with you---

We adored Gary and his quick smile, warm heart and generous spirit. We had the privilege of getting to know Gary and Nancy during Gary's cancer journey. The work and support they provided the Pancreatic Cancer cause had a big impact on many people. We will miss Gary very much and send our love to Nancy and the family.
