I was blessed to have known Gary when I was an Internal Medicine resident and then attending at Stanford. It was always a pleasure to consult with him and his team. He was both brilliant and good natured. A wonderful physician and leader. I was excited to hear he was at Kaiser when I arrived and then sad to know he left. He will be deeply missed.
My sincere condolences on the passing of Gary. I knew Gary through the Neuroscience Deep Brain Stimulation program at Kaiser Permanente in my role as DBS Program Coordinator for 10 years. I loved having the whole DBS Team together on a regular basis. Enjoying Gary's company on those days was wonderful. He was a great neurosurgeon and individual as well. He will be missed by so many. Knowing Gary has been a blessing in my life. May happy memories with Gary sustain your family and friends.
