Gary was one of the finest people you could ever meet he was one of the best dispatchers the St Louis fire department ever had RIP Gary and thank you for the memories. Please accept my deepest sympathy to the Sedovic family
Back in the 80’s I met Gary Sedovic at Holy Innocents Catholic Church. I looked up to Gary as a big brother, friend, and mentor. We started the HI theater guild along with Fr. John Borcic. The guild put on these old-time melodrama dinner shows similar to the Goldenrod Riverboat shows for those who remember those days. Fr. Boric moved on and Fr. Mike Henning joined us. Gary and I produced and directed shows for several years. These were great parish events bringing together choir folks, athletic association guys, and others. It was a lot of work, but we enjoyed it.
Gary and I grew to be very good friends, one of my favorite memories was his 40th birthday when I threw his party/funeral. Sharon played along as the grieving widow, I read his will, and Fr. Borcic returned as the Fire Dept. Chaplain. Many others took part in decorating my home into a funeral parlor with a casket full of gifts. There was a lot of laughter and beer, but mostly honoring our friend.
Now, nearly another 40 years, and this time it’s real. We’ve grown apart over the years connecting occasionally. I have always treasured our friendship, taken lessons and experiences with me, and am thankful for Gary being a part of my life. Requiescat in pace.
Gary was a hoot and a half!! Shared so many laughs with him both on stage and off (dinner theatre guild at Holy Innocents). He was a bundle of energy and a voice to be heard! He was the kind of person folks just enjoyed being around. He had a great smile, a beautiful aura and an awesome human being. I have no doubt Sharon and the kids are heartbroken. He was a gem, and I have no doubt he was received with smiles as big as his when he arrived in heaven. Hugs to the family and to all of his friends as well.
