Biography goes here

Tizzy never lost her Scottish grit and resilience. It was paired with such an openness and joy at communicating and sharing. Her beliefs about the innate value of every human being being equal, regardless of any difference, both set her apart and, like a magnet, drew people close to her.
Her time visiting her parents in Nigeria, teaching and marrying in Morocco, then teaching English to people from all around the world in Leeds, allowed her to be nourished by diverse people and ideas. She shared that learning and experience through her many stories, which were as rich and legendary as her culinary skills.
She fought valiantly against her illness but also against so much of the bigotry damaging humanity today. Quietly, with humility and no fanfare, she was consistent and principled, dedicated to truth and equality.
As a mother she continued to nurture her family, as her MS took hold. In those difficult times, her patience and love never tired, and her full laugh, resonating with freedom and hope, will echo in the hearts of her family forever. We know that her friends will continue to treasure her memory too.
Goodbye Tizzy. We love you.

Gary Guilfoyle
A Life Lived to the Fullest
1936-2017

Gary Guilfoyle passed away on January 9th, 2017 at the age of 80 in his home in Palm Springs, California after a long battle with COPD. He was born April 17th, 1936 in New York. He is survived by his sisters, Evelyn Vodhanel and Glenda Guilfoyle; children, Bob Guilfoyle (married to Tricia); grandchildren, Pepper Wilde and Gavin Guilfoyle; former wife and mother of his children, Colette (Wolters) Guilfoyle; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Ethyl Guilfoyle and his beloved Corgi, Bosco.

Gary lived a full life and loved to travel the world. Shortly after high school, he enlisted in the Navy and began training as an electrical engineer while stationed at sea off Korea and later in Havana, Cuba. He was a music lover and great musician; playing clarinet, oboe, and saxophone in the Navy band. He was honourably discharged from the Navy after completing his service in 1956.

He then secured a position with Hughes Aircraft where, in his nearly twenty year career there, he was part of the team responsible for The Surveyor, which was the first unmanned NASA space probe to land on the moon. A natural inventor, he went on after Hughes working in the CAD/CAM Industry for Gerber Garment Technologies (GGT), specializing in developing cutting and pattern machinery using high pressure water jets and lasers. He relocated to Dallas, Texas and eventually founded his own company, Gamata Corporation. At Gamata, he invented and marketed several specialty cutting machines (such as the L23), one of the first smaller Laser cutters of its kind and distributed to various footwear and clothing manufacturers (Escada, Levis, Adidas, Bally Shoes, etc.) worldwide.

He was a big car enthusiast and was a winning hobby old-timer, rally race car driver. He was a huge animal lover, having bred, raised, and competitively shown Great Pyrenees dogs.

He sold Gamata nearly a decade ago and enjoyed his last years of retirement, whilst still creating and inventing, in Palm Springs, California.

A private memorial service will be held at Ft Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma, CA on March 8th at 2:00pm, followed by a small gathering of friends and family.


In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Gary's name to Family Hospice Care of Palm Springs.

We may have lost a star, but we have an additional angel looking after us.

The lake has been a safe haven for our family ever since our very first trip. It was a place without time constraints or responsibilities, truly a place of pure joy and laughter (even if we had to walk up the ridiculous hill at Callvill Bay!). My father was very adamant about getting on the lake at dark o’ thirty and dragging us five kids along for an early morning adventure. Little did I know, some of my most cherished memories of my father would be those early mornings. Watching him bait every one of our hooks then baiting again because someone accidentally flung their bait off their hook while casting or a “fish rock” ate it, showed me how much selflessness my father truly possessed. I loved fishing with my dad. He had a heavy load to carry through life, when he was on the lake it was always lightened and he shined.
My father was born a hard worker and always put others before himself. He married my mother and had five beautiful, wild, fun loving children. He wanted to give us more than what he had growing up. There were hard times and there were great times. My father always persevered.
One of my earliest memories of my dad was when I was about five. I was given a tricycle type bike and it was black. I was so disappointed because I wanted it to be pink. I remember looking in the garage shortly after and seeing my father spraying the bike with pink spray paint. What love he had for his children!
My dad coached many of my brother’s baseball teams throughout the years. Another thing that will be forever imprinted in my mind was the discipline it took for him to go to every practice and every game; even when he worked such long, hard days. I also saw the passion he had for the sport and the unconditional love he had for my brothers. My father was an amazing example as to what being a “family man” truly means.
Many birthday parties growing up had a piñata and some type of barbeque. I remember my dad climbing up a latter or even getting on the roof to get the best angle for the piñata. My parents would go above and beyond for holidays; Easter eggs in the front yard, fourth of July pool parties, Halloween costumes, and Christmas presents under the tree. Traditions were created, memories made, and lives forever changed.
My father had been battling with his physical limitations and continuous medical conditions for the last few years. Despite his medical conditions, he went back into the field of truck driving. This profession limited him on physical activity, as well as nutritious meals. He made this career choice in order to do what he had always done – provide for his family.
My father was a fighter and kept his sense of humor through his final days. I am grateful to have known him and to have such a supportive father. He wasn’t dealt the best cards, but my dad did his absolute best with the cards he was given. He was a father figure to many “Papa Bills” and a wonderful grandfather to my two year old daughter. My heart is broken, but I will rejoice in the things I have learned because of him.
