Not sure what to say?

I want this mans family to know who this man is to me.He was a guilding light when there was no hope.I was a troubled teen he did not overlook.Thanks to him i graduated high school and now have a bachelors..well 2.I could have been another face in the crowd at nampa high..instead he took me under his wing and helped me realize my potential.heavan is blessed to have gained such a kind soul..

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad touched my life in such a profound way. He shared so much during our " father daughter " talks. He taught me that it's okay to question, to seek my own happiness and that independent thought is a good thing. I think of him and your remarkable family often, my thoughts and prayers are with you today as you celebrate his life. Much love.

What a fun man! James was great. I am thinking of all of you, especially Amy. Mom is very ill and I am not feeling well. Will try to get to the Funeral. If not I love you all.

Uncle James was a fun man to be near that's for sure! Anytime he and Aunt Sue came to visit he had fun things for my young sons to do. Jewelry making to kite flying they loved when he came. And they loved him bringing Jet and Jill. Sure will miss him.

Mrs. Gamblin - There are no words to express my sorrow at hearing of Mr. Gamblin's passing. He was, as I'm sure you know, an inspiration and mentor to me both at church and at school. I love him dearly, as I love you. You and your family will be in my heart and in my prayers as you travel through this difficult time. May God be with you.

Jim was the assistant principal of the high school I attended and one of the adult leaders of our church youth group. I have nothing but pleasant memories of Jim, but the first one that comes to mind is of a hay ride he organized for the youth group. That man could laugh. He will be remembered.

Mr. Gamblin was one of my principals growing up in Nampa. I always enjoyed his smile and happy disposition. He was a lovely man and will be missed.
