Mr. Gamel was a long time member of First Baptist Saks on Saks Rd. He was a former employee of OTASCO where he worked until the company closed their doors, he then began working with Sears where he eventually retired. He had a love for camping and spending his free time outdoors. He was a devoted Alabama football fan. He was a devoted husband. And will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We would like to give a special thanks to Amedisys Hospice for their care.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to First Baptist Saks Building Fund.
