Gary will always be remembered as a warm loving man. He formed half of the awesome couple that was Mr. & Mrs. Hess. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for more than 20 years. Even though he and Toni lived on the East Coast we were still able to share great times and build memories. My first grateful memory is when Gary opened his home and heart to me in 1996. I was able to stay in their home with my friend from South America. And his dog, Harpo was allowed to come in the room and lick my face! The second beloved memory is the one that rendered my nickname! On my second trip to Maryland I called to ask Gary for directions he said take the road to Bowie. I looked and looked for Tabouie! I never found it and was doing circles, literally. From then on, Gary would address me as follows: “Hi Tabouie how are you.” Gary will be tremendously missed and I was blessed for having known such a gentleman. RIP my friend. Love - Yvette & Mark Ernst

We knew Gary only for a brief time but what an impression he makes. You feel as if you have always known him. He is a man that men should emulate . We so enjoyed the time we spent together and the joy of friendship and confidence in conversation. Toni, you and Gary have a love that shines as a model for many other couples.... unconditional and eternal. We love you. Light a Candle

There are so many memories of Gary as we joined he and Toni. Some examples include:. Enjoying cocktails at the Hilton in Huntington Beach and watching the sunset. Eating fresh sea food as we walked around Annapolis. Watching Gary cook dinner as we had dinner at their home and we got to play with Topper. We are so sad at the passing of our friend. Our prayers are coming your way Toni. Big hugs, Mark and Yvette.

To know Gary, was to love him. He was a good and generous neighbor, ready to help out where needed, open to drop-by visits and ready with an offer for a glass of wine. Gary was an important part of our new Severn Manor neighborhood 20 years ago, serving on the HOA Board, several committees, and initiating a neighborhood watch program. The sign at the Severn Manor entrance, discouraging solicitors and warning of surveillance, is a reminder of Gary's true love, law enforcement from his days with the LAPD. We will miss his police stories and seeing he and Toni holding hands and walking Topper through the neighborhood. RIP my friend, your struggle is over. Love to you dear Toni.

Gary Hess was a loving, generous and kind man who I was so honored to call my friend for 21 years. We spent wonderful times together which I will always cherish in my heart. Such a caring soul. Love to his family, especially to his loving and ever devoted partner in life, wife Toni.
