Hello everyone,
No one here knows me, but I knew Gary. He was funny and witty, with a wicked sense of humor. I mean, his screen name says it all, "Born2loseit." I'm sorry he's no longer with his loved ones, but he is now with a Greater Love, the Love of our Heavenly Father. The pain eases, and the painful memories of his passing will fade, but the joy, love and memories that he has left you all with, will last a life time.
Gods Blessings to you all.
Sincerely, Mary Walker
B.K.A. Happiwithme

Dad-
It's hard to believe that it has been a year since you passed away. I thought that as time went by, that it would ease the pain. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Not having you here is just as hard today as it was last year. I think about you every day. When I laugh I swear that it's your laugh that I hear. Words can't begin to express how much I miss you. I think about that trip that we took to North Carolina 2 years ago and how much being able to spend that time with you meant to me. I also think about how we probably looked like a couple of dorks taking our picture next to the BOGUE city limits sign, but I didn't care. I was with my Dad. I think about all of the little things, like the year that you were able to coach my little league team and how proud I was to have my Dad as the coach. I only hope that when my boys are older, they have the same love and respect that I have for you. I love you and miss you Dad.
Love,
Gary

Dad,
I want you to know how much I miss and love you. With you not being here with us physically, has left a void in our lives. I can still here your voice and see your smile, I hear your laugh in Gary V. all of the time. You are, and always will be a big part of our lives. Brandon and Kade will always know what a wonderful Papa they have. You will always hold a special place in my heart. You always welcomed me with open arms and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for all the years of cashew nuts and chocolate covered cherries. We always looked forward to that. One thing I will always look back on and laugh at, is when I was in the hospital about to give birth to your second grandchild, you ate All of my Cheez-it crackers. So as a reminder, every time you came to the house I would always have a box of them for you. Come to find out later on that you really didn't like them at all, you just had eaten them that time because you were hungry. I wonder what happened to all those boxes you took home with you over the years? That to me, clearly says what kind of man you were. You never wanted to hurt anyones feelings, everyone else came first. You are a caring and loving person. I am thankful every day for your son Gary V. He has all the same wonderful qualities that you have. Gary cherished all the quality times that you both spent together. I know in his heart he grieves everyday for you. I will always be here to help him through those rough spots and together we will remember all the good times with you. And remember the wonderful man that is our Dad. I love you, Papa. Your daughter in law. Lori

It has been 1 year since you went to be with God and every day has been just as difficult as the first day. You have and will always be loved and missed by all of us . My only consolation is that someday we will be together again. Until then know that your wisdom,love,kindness ,charm

As the 26th draws near, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past year.
We have lost more family and friends who have gone to join my dad. We all know that they are together, partying up a storm and watching out for all of us that are left behind.
We have cried many tears, shared many memories and helped each other through this extremely difficult time.
But it all comes down to this:

To those of you who check in from time to time, just to see how we are doing, thank you.

To those of you who leave a little note, thank you.

To those who think of my dad and smile, thank you.

To my friends, I love you.

To my family, I love and cherish you.

To my husband, I have no idea how you have dealt with me this past year, but I love you more for it (if that was ever possible).

And last but not least, to my dad, wherever you are, I love you, I miss you and I will never forget the things you taught me. I know that you are watching over us and I still hear those "whispers" every once in awhile and get those "tugs from heaven" in my heart. Until we meet again......

Dearest Gary your ten month anniversary is here but you are not.
I so miss you very much - I miss your wisdom,your humor and your gentleness. I have made some bad choices without your guidance but I talked to God a lot and He helped me remember all the things you did for me and what you told me about being me. Life is very sad without your smiling face but you are in every room and in my head and heart where you will always stay.

Dad-
It has been six months since we lost you, but the emptiness is so vast that it seems like yesterday. I take comfort in knowing that you are watching over us all, whispering in my ear and helping to keep us all safe. I think of you every day, whether it be a song on the radio or a sound in the air. And when this happens, my heart aches.

I love and miss you very much.

April 25, 2008

Dad, I don't know how we have gotten by without you these past six months. Maybe we are comforted by knowing that you are not in any pain anymore. We think of you every day. The boys wake up every morning and kiss your picture and talk to you. You are so loved and missed. You will always be in our every day thoughts and memories. We love you, Papa.

Thelma(Lea) Jordan

I'm sending this note especially for you Dad,

because you're the best Dad I could have had.

Thanks for teaching me right from wrong,

And what it really means to be strong.

You taught me its all right to make a mistake,

and to always be honest and never be fake.

You taught to value every life,

and that harsh words lead to strife.

Thanks for all the sacrifices you made for me,

And for teaching me that love is the key.

Thank you for showing me how to pray,

and that it is something I should do every day.

I am grateful for all you did to encourage me,

Without your help, I don't know where, I would be.





Thanks Dad!

I love and miss you very much!!!

Dear Gary,
The holidays and your birthday were so hard to handle without you here,but rest assured that just as you were never abandoned by me in life you will not be now - Happy 2nd anniversary I miss you

Missi & Joe

January 5, 2008

Dad-
Yesterday was your birthday and we missed you terribly. But today, you gave Joe and I a little present. The drain for our tub froze and while Joe was downstairs trying to thaw it, he noticed that you had used rubber elbows on another drain and he thought lets try that because this isn't working. And it worked! I know that you left us a lot of little tricks around the house that we will keep discovering that will help us out.

Thank you for all that you have taught us and will continue to keep teaching us through these little things.

We love and miss you!!!!

The Bogues

January 4, 2008

Happy birthday, Dad. We love you and miss you. We think about you all of the time. We wish that you were still here with us, but we know that you are watching over us. Kade told Lori the other day that you were in the play room with him. Thank you for watching over us and coming to visit. We love you.

Love,
Gary, Lori, Brandon, and Kade

Dad-
Christmas was rougher this year than it was last year. At least last year, I knew that I would eventually see you again. This year though, knowing that I could not pick up the phone to call you was really tough. Rhonda, Jen and I have been leaning on each other since you have been gone and that makes things a little easier. I think we are closer now than we have ever been, which is something that I will treasure forever.

I want you to know that we all love and miss you very much and that we keep you alive by remembering the things that you taught us which is more than any of us probably know.

I love you-

Ray Hampson

December 28, 2007

As always and more often now that it's around the Holidays, we missed you, Gary. Christmas was good though. I made some great Omlettes and then we went to the house for Dinner. Dakota and Sydney had a good time and played with all their new things. Their smiles and laughter made it so bittersweet. Your girls are a great group. They really take care of eachother. I'm so thankful for that.

Thanksgiving with Your son Gary,wife Lori and two grandsons Brandon and Kade was not the same without you. We all missed you very much but we know you were there in spirit. We love you.

Missi

November 22, 2007

Dad-
This is the first holiday without you here and I can say that it was not easy. Even though you are gone physically, there are times when I feel as though you are right there next to me. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart and therefore never far away.
Jen's special day was tough because I know that she wanted you to walk her down the aisle and I know that you were there with all of us as she pledged her love and devotion to Ray. I am sure that you did walk her down the aisle even though none of us could see you. I know that you would not have missed it for anything.

I love and miss you very much.

Ray Hampson Jr.

November 20, 2007

Well Gary, We saved a seat for you at the wedding on Saturday. I hope you were there watching. Jennifer looked beautiful, didn't she? I wish you could have been there. The Ceremony was nice and the reception was fun. We missed you though.

Jennifer Hampson

November 20, 2007

With your picture and washer as part of my bouquet, and your handkerchief tucked in my dress, I walked down the aisle with you on Saturday. I know you were there, as you left many signs. Thank you for celebrating my wedding day with me. I love you Daddy.

November 15, 2007

Daddy-
Tonight we will gather at the American Legion to pay tribute to you serving our country. It will probably be a very moving ceremony. I hope that you watch.

Today November 3,2007 a wonderful memorial service was held for Gary H. Bogue at the Spruces Retirement Community , where he made his home with Carole. Over 45 of his new friends came to honor him at a beautiful and spiritual service for him. President of the Park Sue (a retired minister) gave a touching honorarium and prayer. Some of his friends stood and gave tearfully touching tributes to the kindness of Gary as they celebrated his life.
Their respect and admiration for him was touching and beautiful. His passing on to be with Our Heavenly Father was a celebration of a great friend . We wish you well Gary,
You will not be forgotten!

The passing of Gary Bogue not only saddens me, but brings back many memories. Even though, as a child, I lived on nearby Burke St., I did not get to know Gary that well until I began bowling with him on his team Monday nights at Bowlero Lanes in the early 70's. Bowling with Gary, his brother Freddie, "Neutty" Zurlo, "Porky" Aldrich, George Toombs, and Pat DePaul as teammates seems like only yesterday. That which I remember about Gary most was his positive and spirited attitude as an anchor man.

“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there — I did not die. ”

I met Pappy 3 or 4 yrs ago in Slingo. He has been a dear friend since, and was always there to give me encouragement when I needed it. He always knew what to say and when to say it to brighten up a bad day. He was my rock during a critical time in my life, and helped me get thru the valleys. He will be missed by many that knew and loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carole and the family during this time of loss. We love ya Gary, but God need you to complete his Bouquet. Your memory will live on forever.

Carole, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you and Gary's children must be in great sorrow. I am so sorry. Gary...although I never met him face to face was a very compassionate man. Laurel really enjoyed the gift he got her when she was ill....and for him to buy such a wonderful thing for a sick child he never met....proves to me he was a wonderful soul. My heart goes out to you all.

I hope you can all take comfort in the knowledge he is not suffering anymore...and that he loved you all very much.

We miss you more and more every day. I walk into my dining room and you are there. I walk into my bathroom and you are there (there are still pieces of masking tape on the walls in the bathroom with STUD written on them.)I listen to the noises my car makes and I think of you and what you would tell me to do.

Joe and I will never forget "measure twice and cut once". Words to live by when you are working on just about anything.

I love you and miss you.
