From our family to Yours we thank Harry for the help and support with our accordion club. Harry was always willing to share, joke and love. We do miss you Harry and will never forget. Seems the good lord needed an accordion player, the best.

From my family to your family. All my family were patients of Dr. Gay. He will always be remembered for his patience when the kids were little and his sense of humor when we couldn't laugh. And always his gentleness to all. The Zimmerman, Rosselli and Cappalla families.

Always the consummate gentleman with great integrity, Harry set the example for us to reach for. For musicians, we all learned from him. For me, I can only say that Harry will be a part of every performance. In friendship, as in every other part of his life, he strove for excellence....and was successful beyond expectations.

Dr. Gay was my dentist for over 30 years. I drove from San Jose as I thought he was the best. He always had a joke to share with me. He sent ducks home with me from his hunting trips. He always spoke so lovingly of his wife, children and grandchildren. I know he's at peace in the arms of the Lord. He'll be missed.

Dr. Gay was my dentist through childhood and adulthood. Most of the work he did on me 30 years ago is still going strong. I always enjoyed his many stories about big game hunting while he was working on me. I also remember how he would say 'ouch!" when he injected me with novacaine, so I wouldn't have to say it. So sorry to hear of his passing.

To The Family and Friends of Harry: I was very saddened to hear that Harry's health had diminished and now to hear he has passed. I will miss the beautiful music he brought to us all and the big smile he always had for those of us who enjoyed that music. I will never forget the laughter at breakfast in the hotel prior to the Cotati Accordion Festival nor Harry "practicing" at the hotel. It was a pleasure to hear his accordion music always. It's a difficult time to get through, but please remember the love and joy your Harry brought to so many people with his music. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Vivian Gay and Family, I have fond memories of Harry from the time I spent with him at the Dentist Office. When I was little I hated going to the dentist, but he made me laugh and feel at ease. I remember him playing a couple songs at my wedding. I also remember when you guys came over mom and dad's house. Peter and I, and the kids, and the stories we shared. We laughed so much. Harry was so sweet and happy. He will be truly missed. Love you, Peter, Pati, Chris, and Chelsey Scheu
