My wife and I enjoyed being in a bible study group with Gary and Connie in Simpsonville, SC. Gary was a thoughtful and wise and kind man. He was a great example of a Christian. We were blessed and are blessed to have known him.

It was our honor and priviledge to have known Gary and Connie. It can't be overstated as to the Christain character of both Gary and Connie. It was very evident that his love of the Lord made him a loving Son, Husband, Father and Grandfather. We only knew Gary a few years but we are better people for it and our prayers to go to his entire family. One day they will all be together again. In Christ's Love, Joel and Elaine

Time marches on so quickly. It isn't until something happens (an email from Connie that Gary was hopitalized), that made me sit back and reflect on the "good times", those "special events", those "special people" that God allowed Sherry and me to be encouraged by, and share in the Lord's ministry at Brighten Chapel. Our prayers have been for you to know and feel the presence and love of our Lord, and to know that we are praying for you and your family member.
Sorry, we could not make it to the memorial service, but we were thinking of you several times that day. Hope to visit you this winter in SC.

Whenever I think of Gary, I always remember his laugh and that memory makes me smile. To me, that is the kind of person Gary was--happy and always ready to share his happiness with those around him.

I first met Gary in grade school. We were in the same class for 10 years but I had started school one year late and that always bothered me. Mr. Kraning (our beloved principle) helped me on the side so I could graduate in 1955 where I should have been, which was with Connie. Gary and Connie have been such good friends over the years. Always a Big Hug of Welcome when I would come back to the Brighton Church to visit. Gary will be missed. He touched so many lives. I am so Thankful The Lord put me on this earth at the same time. I love you both Gary and Connie. Signed SAM (Gary called me) Sharon

A very impressive Memorial Service for Gary Whitcomb, in the little town of Brighton IN.,where St.Rd. #3 ends at St. Rd. #120, for 310 Family members & friends on Sat. Nov. 13th, in the Church where they were married 46yrs. ago & were very active members.I first remember Gary on the bus going to Brighton School where, Constance, (as the teachers called her) attended, along with many other students, many of those came back to the town to pay respect to GARY, Who was the Honored Boy of the class of "1956"
with 13 students.
Years passed, our two families moved back to farms, close to this nice community. We lived, worked played & worshiped together & had many fun times with our now grown children through the late 60's, 70's 80's 90's & even into the 20th century. We cherish those good memories now. Gary was one of the 6 speakers at our 75th B.H.S.reunion in 2003 & was to be chairman for the next reunion to come. We prayed since Jan 1st, for God to work a Miracle in Gary's Cancer journey, but the Lord knew that He was preparing a Home in Heaven all along, for Gary. We will miss him but we will join him someday up there.Keep your strong faith & trust in Jesus, Connie, We Love you.

The 20 some years that I worked with Gary were rewarding, fun and educational. Gary was wise beyond his years,always open minded, fair and considerate with his fellow employes. God has chosen Gary for much more important tasks than we can ever imagine. Lenny & Mimi

Al and I will always cherish the memory of the day you spent with us last August here in Zionsville. We enjoy showing off our new hometown as much as you enjoyed seeing it. Come back and visit us anytime, and we'll do it all again! Prayers of strength to Connie and her family.

Gary and Connie were wonderful friends while we resided in Indiana. They continued to care for us and encourage us when we moved with my mother to Fla. Gary will be dearly missed. I pray that Connie remembers that our prayers are with her in the years to come.

Not many people measure up to the character and faith of Gary Whitcomb. Fortunately, I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Gary for many years and experience him first hand. I am both proud and thankful for the opportunity and I only hope that I will in some way be able to measure up to him.
His memorial service on Saturday was a fitting rememberance to the man he was. With his home church overflowing with family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends, he was given a most deserved tribute. While we will all miss him, we are thankful in knowing he is with his Lord.

I rejoice that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I know where my friend Gary now lives! I also rejoice that he loved and taught this young pastor with patience and kindness when we served together at Brighton Chapel. I am a better pastor having had Connie and Gary Whitcomb in my life!

I had the privilege of working with Gary for many years. He was always a gentleman and a class act. I enjoyed his company and playing golf with him this past summer. I am sure that he has found a fantastic golf course with an unending supply of Snickers. I will miss him!

We enjoyed Gary's memorial service and hearing how Gary touched other people's lives. Gary was a dear person to us, as well as Connie still is. We thank the Lord for friends like you.

Gary and I have been friends since he first moved into our neighborhood in elementary school. We went to the same school (Brighton), and the same college (Tri-State). I will always remember good times at basketball, baseball, school, and church with Gary. After college we continued to keep in touch. Gary worked on components for the Apollo Crawler Transporter, while I worked on the Apollo moon landing missions. We will miss Gary as all his friends and family does.

I had the pleasure of working with Gary in the Product Litigation team. Gary's even temper and expert knowledge always brought a sense of order and calm to tense situations. We shall miss his smile and experience.

Gary was the brother I did not have. He entered my life when I was eight years old...that was when he started dating my sister. What a wonderful brother he was. He cared deeply for his family, his church and his community. He will be miss by all.

What do I do with some left over Snickers? We will miss him on the Golf course for sure, as his loved ones will miss him everyday..
