Will always remember Gary aka Dad making breakfast for Kelly and I when they were at Four Seasons Campground. I would always yell over at him, Dad what's for breakfast sometimes dinner time. Godforbid let Kelly cook! Thank you for always welcoming me over to eat and hang out.

I only knew Gary for about a year, however he definitely made a lasting impression on me and many others. I can honestly say that he was one co-worker I'll never forget. I believe he truly loved his job and the clients, and it showed. He was an extremely kind person. He took time out of his busy day to talk with each and every client and help out whenever he could. He will be missed by many. RIP and fly high Gary!

I am so grateful that I was able to meet Gary Kelly at the campground. Gary was a great guy, who loved his family to pieces. I sure have missed having him as my neighbor. Rest in peace Gary. Sending love to Kelly and family during this heartbreaking time.

We didn't know Gary for very long, he was out camping neighbor last year at Gettysburg Campground. We hit it off right away. Gary always talked about his family. He was very proud of his family and love them so much. The stories he used to tell us would leave us crying laughing. We were very fond of him and I hope that the family can find some kind of peace and comfort through all of this. Rest in Peace Gary.
