I just read through all of the wonderful messages from the many people who knew and loved Dr Ware. I only started coming to him maybe 3 or 4 years ago but from my first visit to (what I never would've imagined to be) my last visit, he treated me as if we had known each other for a lifetime. He was so sweet, so polite, so kind and thoughtful...I just cannot say enough about how wonderful he was. He was so patient with me when he had to put drops in my eyes and check the pressure in them. No matter how hard I tried to open my eyes, my natural reflex was to keep them closed. I would apologize over and over but he always said no need to apologize. He had the patience of Job! He always made me laugh when checking my peripheral vision because he said "ain't nobody gonna sneak up on you!" I just loved him and he loved his patients, too. He always thanked me for coming to see him before I would leave. If only I had known that it would be the last time I saw him, I would've given him a big hug. I just couldn't believe it when I heard of his passing...and I still can't believe he's gone. To his family, friends, and colleagues, my deepest sympathies to you all. May God grant each and every one of you peace beyond all understanding. Thank you, Dr. Ware, for taking such great care of all of your patients!
Love,
Wendy Lawrence

Dr. Ware was more than my eye Doctor. For years he was my neighbor and a good friend. He was my wife's Dr. since she was a child along with our kids and our in laws.He was one of the most mild mannered and humblest persons I ever knew. We talked about Dogs,food and family. it's going to be hard to find a new Dr. to replace him. as a friend he cannot be replaced. He will be missed by myself and my entire family. May God bless his Children and loved ones!

My sincerest condolences to the family of Dr. Garey E. Ware. I was very saddened to hear of his death. He was such a wonderful, caring, and talented man and I will miss his delightful smile and sense of humor. I feel lucky that he was my Optometrist for about 40 years. I distinctly recall him telling me that he would practice optometry until he gets to be 100 years old and I would reply that I will continue with my appointments until his practice ends at the age of 100. His compassionate nature as a doctor showed he cared, and I am thankful for his excellent and personable service.
His passing will leave a void that will be felt for many years to come. I am wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Just remember that if we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
May God bless you and your family.

Dr. Ware was our Doctor for 34 years. He was a Great man, and always showed himself friendly toward us each time we would visit his office. He and I ( David ) were Veterans, and that was usually the center of our conversation. Linda enjoyed her visits, because he was always talking about gardening and flowers. I know he will be missed by all of his Patients, and this leaves us all facing a big decision. Prayers for his Family and Staff.

At the age of 6, I met Dr. Ware. Visiting him periodically for issues with my vision. He made each visit fun and entertaining. 3 years after meeting him, my family and myself were blessed to become his next door neighbors. Growing up living next to my eye doctor was amazing. Due to attending Beekman, I'd have to catch the bus close to 6am on normal school days. Before turning 13, he owned two dogs by the names of Bella and Delware. My favorite was his Dalmatian, being I'd only saw her breed on Disney''s Dalmatians Movie Series. Being such a caring guy, each morning before heading off to his office. He along with the dogs watched me as I awaited my bus. Always feeling safe in the dark at morning. Over the years they passed away and he got 2 more that were very fruitful at one point. As I matriculated through elementary and my secondary level of education, he supported every fund raiser, event, and program, I took part in. I'm Blessed to say I was able to get to know him outside of his office. I'm sadden to know I want get to laugh with him at my next eye doctor visit. As I get older and visit my mother, Carolyn Harris, I'll peek over his fence. Remembering all the times I spent playing with his dogs, picking up sticks for him to mow various yards, and simply being the kind man next door. Rest Easy Dr. Ware!

My condolences and prayers to the family. Dr Ware will truly be missed as a neighbor. When I move next door to him 15 years ago he welcome me with open arms and we always made sure that if one of us went out of town we will let the other one know so that we could keep watch on each other's house I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor and for that I'm thankful. I knew of him because he was my eye doctor but I got to know him because he was a wonderful neighbor so again my prayers will be with the family during the time of your sorrow.

Doc never let me leave without saying he appreciated me and to be careful on my trip home! I loved every minute I was in his presence. ❤️

What a terrible loss to the local community. Dr Ware will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. I owe my sight to him, a debt that could never be repaid, and when I tried telling him how grateful I was, he told me I was welcome, shrugged, and said, ”That’s what we do.”
Rest in eternal peace my friend.
