Terry & Wendy Campbell and family

Dar, I love you more than anything. Thankyou for being the most amazing Dar I could have ever asked for.
You were my biggest supporter.
The smartest and toughest man in Gippsland.
‘Dar is the best by far!’

Love Emily xx

Oh what a man! A true fighter and cheeky character he was, you and baylyn will get on just fine in the afterlife xxx big love to you all in this hard time xx

There are no words that I can say that will ever be able to express my love and appreciation for you as my Dad. You were my biggest supporter through everything, providing unconditional support, love and guidance. There will always be an empty space in my life and a gap no one can fill. It is the little things in my every day life that I’m going to miss the most, the morning phone calls just to say hello, hearing your voice on the sidelines at netball and the trips home listening to your summary of the game, or watching the footy and complaining about the state of the “modern game” together. I will be sure to continue yelling at the TV and turning it off every few minutes when Essendon aren’t winning, driving everyone else watching mad.
I will make sure my kids grow up knowing what an amazing Dar they have, how much you loved them and how lucky we are to have you as our Dad and Dar. The support you provided to me when I became a parent myself is something that not many people get to experience and I’ll never forget how lucky I am.
Thank you for everything Dad, we love you so much.
Jaclyn Evan Gracie and Harry xxxxxxxx

Gary loved people and we loved him right back, couldn’t get a better family man he loved so big, RIP sweet man. Xo

An extra ordinary man who would do anything for family and friends and I am so proud and grateful that you are my dad.
I have a lifetime of memories that I will hold on to forever in my heart.
Emily and Heidi adore you dad and miss you terribly.
They will remember all the love, care and many, many fun times they shared with you.
An amazing dad but an unbelievable ‘Dar’!
Love you forever and ever,
Kylie (Yip), Mark, Emily and Heidi xxxx
