Lund, Garoll "Gary"

Condolences. To the family. Gary was such a great teacher. He will be missed

So sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear of Gary's passing, he was a kind and wonderful man. Your family is in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Gary's passing, we so enjoyed visiting with him and he always had a wonderful smile and greeting for everyone he came in contact with. Prayers of comfort for the family.

I always dearly loved Mr. Lund. He was always happy and quick with a smile. He was so good with the students, and everyone knew exactly where they stood with him. I was lucky enough to have him as a teacher, as well as my siblings. Even my children were blessed to have him as a substitute teacher years later!

Looking back, there are many teachers and staff that left an impression with me, but very few were the magnitude of Gary. He really was an important role model, and exemplified what is was to be a good Christian man.

I will always remember him fondly, as well as Marilyn and all of you... What a great family.

My heart breaks for you all for your loss, but rejoices in the fact that he is now with God and Jesus, lighting up heaven with his irresistible charm!

Rest in Peace, Gary - we love you and we will NEVER forget you!!

I remember Gary from when I lived in Nampa and attended, first, College High, then NNC (then). I always enjoyed his attitude and thought he was a great guy.

It's been many years, but I'm sorry to hear of his death, Marilyn. My condolences to you.

Gary had an amazing wife, Marilyn who is loved by everyone also and they're children,love them each and everyone. May God give you peace and comfort as you say good bye and just hang on to your memories cause they will last forever. sincerely, Jeannie Portlock

We have such great memories of Gary and are blessed to have been able to spend time with him at our family reunions. We loved hearing him sing and laugh. Our sincerest condolences to Marilyn and family.

Marilyn, I just want you to know you and your family are in my thoughts.

Marilyn & Family,
So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Always enjoyed visiting with him at the store. He always inquired about the kids and their whereabouts. They always remembered him as one of their favorite teachers.

Sorry for your loss

There are no words to describe how much Gary meant to me, along with you Marilyn. I will for ever be grateful for all that both of you have done for me and taught me over the last 40 years. If I was just half the man that Gary was, I would be great. Goodbye Gary, we will never stop missing you.

Gary Lund was a wonderful person to know and work with for many years. As a principal in Riverton for 20 years, I knew him as the athletic director at Wind River Schools. He also substituted in our district for many years. He was always cheerful, kind, and dedicated to his work. He put others above himself, and was a Christian man. Gary was a delight to know. The students appreciated having him substitute, and he did a great job with the students. So sorry for your loss for his family.

I'm sorry to have read about the loss of your loved one. My deepest condolences to your faamily. May God provide your family with peace and comfort during this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Marilyn - I am so very sorry to hear about Gary. There is nothing worse than losing your best friend of so many years. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Family (Auntie Marilyn, Vance, Verlin, Vicki, Vonnie, and All) , I so wish we could be there in person to lend our love and support. We are trying from a far with our prayers, thoughts, memories, words, and photos. What I really wish- is that I could give you each the best hug ever. We are really going to miss Uncle Gary terribly. If I were to choose just one word to describe him I'd pick "generous". I always remember his way of "tipping" when he'd stay with us. He'd also teach us fun games played with coins that he'd let us keep. I think all the kids got special coins from him too. I loved hearing Dad and Uncle Gary's conversations around the table. Their way of joking around with each other (as only brothers can do) had us all laughing! One trip Dad took Uncle Gary down to the Goodwill and they both brought home jackets. Trouble was that Dad bought one of his own old jackets that Mom had donated. Uncle Gary thought it was the funniest thing ever that he bought the same jacket twice and teased Dad good! Uncle was funny and seemed like a big old teddy bear. He was sweet to my boys and so kind to my husband Homer. They seemed to have quite a connection both August born. Homer was deeply saddened about Uncle too and said he will miss his smile and funny comments. We know he is with Jesus and that is a comfort. We love you all so much and will keep praying for you as we know the ache for him will still be there. Just know we love you much and are there with you in spirit! Love, Staci (Homer, Nic, and Alex) Jocson

Gary, You've been my favorite brother for 78 years and I'm really going to miss you! Everyone says how nice you were but I remember what a good fighter you were too! After you beat the tar out of someone you would always shake their hand! I never did understand that. I was always proud to be your little brother. Love you, Gayle

Dear entire family, The news was hard. The loss is great. And the missing goes on. But such a wonderful comfort that in Christ we have the gift of eternal life and we know that Gary is now okay. Instead of his life ending it's just beginning. And all of us have that same hope. We all know that this is just a short separation until we are all together again. I'm so glad that Gayle will be there with you for the service on Sat. to honor Gary's life. I'll be there also in heart. Love to all, Pat

I will always remember Mr. Lund as a special teacher and person. He was my teacher for 5th and 6th grade at the Crowheart-Burris school. He continued to stay in my life as a friend for many years after.
Ken and I offer our condolences to the family and our thoughts are with you.
With deepest sympathy

What a dear man. Please accept our sincere condolences during this difficult time. Grace and peace to you Marilyn, Vance, Verlin, Vicki & Vonni.

Aunt Marilyn :). From Brent and Julie (Zellmer) Miller
You and your family (and ours) are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you and are thankful that we could be related to You and Uncle Gary and the Lund Family. Your cruise boat visit to Sitka is one special time that I remember. We had lots of laughter as we got together at Ryan and Jill's home.

My folks, Gerald and Ginny Zellmer are thinking of and praying for you also. Gerald was an NNU classrmate of Gary their freshman year. My mom, Virginia Horne Zellmer came the next year and knew Marva Gary and Marilyn (although she didn't meet Gerald until she was teaching home ec in Portland). Gerald said, "I always enjoyed and appreciated Gary!" They were glad to have their daughter marry into the Lund/Miller family :)
Gerald and Ginny also said:
"May the Lord bless you and all your family and friends on this hard but blessed occasion"
