Gary Gilman

Remembering my former coworker & supervisor, Gary, at DCHS. I have many warm memories of Garys quirky sense of humor & his ready smile. He was extremely knowledgeable of our sometimes confusing & contradicting policies. More importantly, Gary was supportive of his staff & compassionate with our clients. I truly considered him a friend during my time at DCHS. Sending hugs of comfort to Julie & Garys extended family.

I miss you, Gary.

Gary was a favorite patron at Lakeview Library--kind and patient--a welcome bright spot in our days. We miss him. Thinking of his family.

Gary was a frequent patron to the Lakeview Public Library in Madison. I met Gary here when I started my job during the beginning of the pandemic in the library. He was a kind, gentle and funny man who loved sharing his life stories about living in Alaska and life down South. Everyone who works at this library absolutely adored Gary. It was always a good day when we got to see him. He will be deeply missed.

I first met Gary in 1967 at Swenson house dormitory at UW when Gary was a senior and I was a freshman. We remained friends over the years following school. He got me a summer job when he worked for the local job service. Gary was with me on a night out on the town in 1974 when I met my future wife. He even encouraged me to ask her to dance. I havent seen Gary in many years, but I often thought about him. Sorry I didnt keep in touch.
