Gary Vincent Todoroff (August 15, 1946 – March 4, 2025) passed away at age 78 at his home in Eureka, California.
Gary taught himself computer programming and established a business working with local hospitals and other industries. He continued to pursue photography and RC airplanes, enjoying time building and flying them with his children.
Gary was particularly proud of his time as an official Coast Guard Artist, embracing being welcomed as an “Honorary Coastie” documenting the work of those who keep us safe. He also valued his work with Bulembu Ministries, an orphanage and community school in Swaziland, Africa, which he traveled to on many occasions.
In retirement, he focused on photography, capturing the beauty of the North Coast from land, sea, and air.
He is survived by his wife JoAnn “Annie” Harding Todoroff; sons Ryan and Nathan; daughter Clara; granddaughter Veronica; and sister Sandy.
