Garold W. "Gary" Campbell, 78, put up a strong fight against cancer, but his wife and family said, "we want you here with us", so he quietly accepted their invitation on January 18, 2010 at his home in Montesano.

Gary also owned Pinehurst Auto Sales in Seattle for a number of years. He retired in 1993 and moved to Montesano where he had lived to this day.
Gary's love in life was fixing and painting cars, hunting, fishing, spending time with his family and friends and taking rides with his loving wife, Shirley.
