Generosity & Love Create a Lasting Legacy
Gary Rasche was a man who loved fast cars and boats – but most of all, he loved his family and his community. He will be remembered most for his joie de vivre and his generous spirit. He was someone who could always be counted on to help a friend or charity in need. Gary also liked to show his appreciation personally: The nurses at Santa Rosa Memorial will undoubtedly remember him as the man who brought them 3-pound boxes of See’s Candy to show his gratitude for their care. In addition, a generation of Santa Rosa’s children will remember the most incredible, extravagant Christmas displays that he put on each year at his home!
Gary passed away in August 2018 at age 75. When asked how she thought Gary would like to be remembered, Nancy Morrison, his partner of over 30 years, answered,
“Gary was a big-hearted, kind man who loved his community. He was very philanthropically oriented and wanted to keep his charity local.” She added, “He had a particular affinity for Memorial Hospital as both he and his parents received excellent treatment there. By supporting Memorial, he was continuing in their footsteps.”
