Dear the best papa ever. 
   I love you so much, your are the strongest man i know. You always knew how to make me smile or laugh with your stories from when you were little & just being you. Im going to miss all the fun times visiting you and going up north and going on the boat. Even though ill miss you like crazy i know you'll always be watching over me.  Im sorry you had to go through all this pain and sicknesses. You helped me throught life and made it 100000X better. I have a picture of me and you right beside my bed so when i get sad i can look at it see you. It makes me smile and think of you. Every time i visit nana it wont feel right, i know im missing something, you. Even thought you have been sick for years i didnt think you were going to make it, but your a strong man. You never failed to make any one happy. Your the best marine ever, I love that you were in the marines fighting for our country. I want to thank you for being who you are, perfect

Mr Locke,
I am thankful that I had a chance to know you. You were always so kind and from the day I met you I felt that we had known each other for a long time. I will cherish the memories of spending time with you and simply just talking. I know that you are in Heaven and shall suffer no longer. Your strength is an inspiration to all. God Bless You.

Dear Dad-I miss you so much. I think about you often throughout the day. I'm thankful you are at rest but my heart aches at the same time. You truly were a wonderful dad. You taught us right from wrong and to always do the right thing. I'm thankful for all the memories that you and mom have filled my heart and memory with. Please come visit me often-I will know when you are here. Love you always <3 your Varmit

Papa, for probably the first time in my life, I'm at a loss for words. I don't even know how to say how I feel. I miss you and will always miss you. I know your last few years were tough, but you put up one hell of a fight. You were a shining example of a great, respectable & honorable man and I am proud to say you're my Papa. I will never forget the way you called me Essica, it may be just a nickname but I loved it and the way you said it with so much enthusiasm. In fact, it was so special to me, I can still hear you say it. Every bonfire I sit by, I will think of you and "There's A Tear in My Beer". I have many fond memories of you that I will hold in my heart until I see you again. I love you, and while there is an ache in my heart, there is also a calmness knowing that you're finally at peace. I love you.

Dad, I cannot even begin to express what a great father you are.  I am so happy that God chose you to be my Dad.  You were loved by all that knew you.  You had a will and determination unlike any other.  You were a great man, my dad, one of my best friends and someone I truly enjoyed spending time with.  I will miss you so much everday, but I am at peace to know that you are no longer suffering.  I love you forever and always. Sandy

Our loss is Heaven's gain. It was an honor for anybody that knew or met Uncle Gary. He was the kind of man that was admired and the kind of dad anybody would want to have as their own. His love will live on in the memories of those who felt his love. The sorrow felt by his loss is in our hearts as well and may you all feel comforted that you were able to know and love such a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love - Dave, Tina and family

I will miss you very much Uncle Gary and will hold on to fun memories. The only thing that banishes my sorrow is knowing that you are "Home" where there is no more pain and suffering. Peace to Family, I Love you all very much.

GARY,I NEVER HEARD YOU SAY A NEGATIVE WORD ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON,NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD A NEGATIVE WORD ABOUT YOU.YOU WERE  SOME OF GODS BEST WORK.REST IN PEACE WITH YOUR MAKER.

Dad: I will miss you always, but I will keep many many good memories, may you rest in peace now.

Mike Edleston

May your love and memories help you through these difficult days. Know that we are here for you and love you with all our hearts. Uncle Gary you will be truly missed XO, Love Laurie, Craig, Heather David, Amber, Dan and Kaylee
