Aunt Betty,

As much as we all will miss Uncle Gary we know that he and my dad (Larry) are back together once again. I'm so proud to say he was "my uncle". What better man to give me away at my wedding then him. That will always be one of my most cherished moments I have of him. We’ve lost someone who meant the world to us but we feel so blessed to have been there to enjoy the journey of his life and to have made so many memories that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. Uncle Gary not only Loved but he Lived. You mean the world to us and we will always be here for you. You're always in our thoughts and prayers.

Love

Hello, My prayers to the family for your loss. I remember getting some much needed advice from Mr. Campbell when Mike and I were playing baseball and wrestling in highschool. I could always count on getting a 'no holds barred' answer from Mr. Campbell. He will be missed but will always remain in memory.

Gary (and you, Betty) have always been the epitomy of what friends should be. I will truly miss him and his laughter and pranks. I'm so glad he's had such a wonderful family and great friends as he has been a friend to all.
