So sorry for the lost 😢 ours deepest condolences to the all family ❤️

Dear Kris - I was so glad to recently meet your Sergio he had such a charming presence and a quite knowing of things. Your family's tributes are heartfelt and beautiful. May his memory bring you comfort sending lotsa love.

As we go thru life particularly our school years. . We all have certain teachers who leave a impression on you . Mr Gatta was one of those teachers he was just oozing with coolness and was such a nice person for a student to have as a teacher . Thanks for letting me be part of it Mr Gatta. RIP

The thing I remember most about Mr. Gatta is his incredible smile. He will definitely be missed. sorry for your losKris

I had Mr. Gatta at Golden Gate for Language Arts way back in 1969. Yes, he had the coolest way of teaching with rock and roll lyrics. I would sometimes catch a ride to school in his Ford Pinto.

Kris and family...I am so sorry! This is Patty Sarson your long time next door neighbour Kris...'Mr Gatta', Fred was my language arts teacher in Golden Gate. he was a great teacher-we even watched the Russia/Canada hockey series when the games were during class time! I am so sorry to hear this news Kris-thinking of you and your whole family.

My condolences to the family...

Mike Gatta was one of the coolest teachers I had at any time in school. I was a student of his at Golden Gate Junior High School, and after barely getting through junior high and high school, I went on to have a career as a professional wrestler. He came to see me wrestle at the Winnipeg Arena and I was so proud to be able to perform for him and many of my other teachers.

To tell you what kind of a mark he left on me in my life, I took his history of rock and roll when I was in junior high. After I retired from wrestling, I went into journalism, and eventually worked for the Billboard magazine group out of New York City, where I covered acts like the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead (and all because of the interest I got from that junior high class at Golden Gate).

Many great memories and a huge thank-you to just one life he touched.

While waiting in the staff lounge for my dad to finish teaching each afternoon, Fred was always someone who stood out—not just for being the most stylish teacher there, but for his genuine kindness and hip spirit. Thinking of his family and remembering him fondly.

We are deeply saddened for the loss of your husband, and soulmate. He was such a kind gentle man who showed his love for his family and friends.

we will miss seeing his smiling face .

His passion for reading will forever be etched in our memories. ♥️

You have my deepest sympathy. Fred and I spent 10 years teaching together at Brookland.s. We taught, coached

Volleyball , chaperoned many dances had dinners and lots of fun. Fred was a great teacher who was loved by all. He will be greatly missed but always remembered.

So very, very sorry to hear of Sergio's passing. May you be comforted by the precious memories that you have. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love and prayers,

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Sergio passing away. My heart is broken for you, Kris, and your family.

Thank you both for being there for my mum a good few years back when she needed help, I will always be grateful for Sergio and you being there for her.

Please know your are in my thoughts.

Sergio was the source of many interesting ideas and adventures starting in our early teaching careers from the 1960s at Golden Gate through to the late 1990s at Westwood Collegiate. He could always be depended on to solve the many problems I had over the years with those darn computers. So many laughs and good times. A good friend.

Sergio was always a gentleman! A kind, caring and compassionate man. Our heartfelt felt condolences to Kris and family.

I was so saddened to see Mr. Gatta's name in the obituaries this morning. I remember him fondly, both as a .teacher and as a student advisor for the school newspaper at Westwood Collegiate. I'm so very sorry for this heartbreaking loss.

Dear Kris and family- what a sad loss. I'm so grateful to have seen "Mr Gatta" just two weeks prior and get a hug. May family friends time and memories ease your sorrow🙏🙏 Please take care❤️
