Mr Witcher was such a joy to work with! He took such pride in his work and made Hiseville Elementary a beautiful campus. We had lots of conversations about his dedication to his Bible study and UK Basketball. He touched many lives and will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathy for the family. I got to know Gary at Hiseville. I greatly missed seeing and talking to him after he retired. It was such a pleasure to work with and get to know him.
