Lawrence Keith Gates Sr.

Dear Sheila and Larry,

I was honored to be one of your father's employees. He along with the other doctors I worked for were the greates of men. I enjoyed every minute working with them. Your father was a very kind and wonderful man. I learned so much from him. He made everyone around him feel as if they were the most important person in the world. I will truly miss him.

Dear Sheila and Larry,

My condolences at the passing of your father. I am sorry I was not able to attend the funeral. I tried to have my brother Bryan,who is currently their caregiver) to drive my parents to Logan, but they are in such frail health these days they are not able to even attend church or go to the store much any more. They asked me to send their regards and love to you and yours.

Your Cousin

I offer to you and your circle of friends and family my prayers and hope for comfort.

Dear Larry and family- I remember your dad well, he always looked deeply into my eyes.

I'm sorry for your loss, my own father just passed away this July at 88 years old. No matter the age the loss is great but the memories are sweet.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Family,
We loved your dad and mother very much even though we didn't see them much after we stopped attending Lion's functions. Your dad is the one who encouraged Gordell to run for District Governor and we became closer friends then.Our Condolences go to all of you.

Dear Gates family:
I was saddened to see my "eye doctor" had passed away. I wanted you to know how he has affected my life for the past many years. As a young boy (21 months old), I lost the sight in my left eye as a result of a traumatic injury. Dr. Gates was able to repair my eye (39 years ago) to the point that I did not have to have a prosthetic eye. I am so grateful for this and feel fortunate to have known this great man.
I am so sorry for your loss. He was a kind man and an...

Dear Sheila and Larry (and the rest of the Gates family),
I also was a long-time employee of your dear father. I think everyone loved Dr. Gates that came to know him--patients and staff. He was a wonderful man, husband and doctor. I think he pretty much loved this life! We all came to know as employees that he sure did love his sweet wife, Ora, and his children, too. He was very proud of his family. I always seemed to especially enjoy his humor and optimistic outlook on life. ...

Sheila and Larry,

I was sorry to learn that Joe died a year ago, Sheila. I was unaware of his passing. I'm sending my condolences to you and Melinda. Joe was a good man and I admired him very much.

I'm sure the two of you will miss your father very much. My children and I send our condolences for your loss.
