I am getting close to retiring after 42 years of teaching Math. I was thinking back on all the teachers I've had and how they influenced me. No one, but no one, had a more powerful effect on me than Gary. I took Trig and Analytic Geometry from him concurrently during the summer many years ago and I based my teaching style after him. I taught at Richland and kept up with Gary for many years. I now live in CA and teach at a small university. My only regret is that I didn't look up Gary a few years ago. To his family…I say he was one of the greats! Reach out and thank someone today before it's too late. Thank you, Gary.

I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. As a long-time colleague of Professor Penner's, he was wonderful to work with. I can only imagine how many students he reached and made Math less of a mystery. With Sympathy, Barth Loe – Dallas (Richland College Retiree)
Gary was a great mentor to me. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with him for the years I did. I miss him already!
Gary was not only a colleague, but a man I had the utmost respect for and considered a good friend. He impacted numerous lives, both inside and outside the classroom. It was a privilege to know him, and I will never forget him. Ken Lott Richland College Math professor

Gary was a wonderful neighbor to us as our two children grew up with Brian and Karen. He helped make our neighborhood (on Biloxi Street) a safe and beautiful place to live. Rest in Peace, dear friend. Gerald & Sara Kesler
