Our hearts and thoughts are with you during this time of grieving.  Please know that you are not alone in remembering a truly wonderful person.  Mr. Gaia will always hold a special place in the hearts of my family.

He was teacher to my brothers, sister and me.  He was my mother's principal when she taught at Leavitt.  In the late 60's, Mr. Gaia was resposible for saving my youngest brother's life.  Mr Gaia resuscitated him after he had fallen from the monkey bars, unconscious and not breathing.

We hope your family will find comfort in the knowledge that Pat's kindness, compassion and spirit will live on through all who knew him.

The Bain family
