Gary E. Campbell passed away Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016 at the Albert Lea Medical Center. He was 77 years old. Gary was born August 9, 1938 to Melvin and Alma (Sampson) Campbell in Mason City, Iowa.
Gary grew up in Mason City, graduating from Mason City High School and Mason City Junior College. On March 18, 1959 Gary married Pat Woodhouse in Mason City. In 1962, the couple moved to Albert Lea to raise their family.
Gary held various jobs including working at Deluxe in Lake Mills, ALMCO, and Good Samaritan. He was employed as a Maintenance Foreman at Wilson's for the majority of his career.
Gary's passions included hunting and fishing. He enjoyed rooting for the Iowa Hawkeyes, making bird feeders in his wood shop, shooting at practice targets, and snowmobiling in his earlier years. He was involved with Ducks Unlimited, the NRA, the Albert Lea Pistol Club, and the Moose Lodge. Gary had a way with smart-alecky humor in any situation he faced, a quality his family will greatly miss.
Gary is survived by his wife of 50+ years, Pat Campbell; children, Jody (Greg) Seeger of Albert Lea, MN, Darcy Campbell of Albert Lea, MN, Jeff (Machell) Campbell of Austin, MN; grandchildren, Joey Hamberg, Jill 'Hangnail' Hamberg, Dirk Seeger, Josh Seeger, Logan Goodemann, Hannah Goodemann, Shawn Fergusen, Russell Lien, Jordin Crawford; great-grandchildren, Haley Hamberg & Riley Thompson; sisters, Ardith Wood & Beverly (Everett) Walk; sister-in-law, Imogene Woodhouse; his pride and joy, Patches (the dog); and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents; brothers-in-law, Don Wood and Paul 'Skeeter' Woodhouse; and several aunts and uncles.
