Final arrangements have been made for Gary.
A celebration of his life will be held Wednesday, November 21, 2007, at 2:00PM at Vaughn Forest Baptist Church. We will have visitation on Tuesday, November 20 from 5-7PM at Alabama Heritage Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to Faith Radio (PO Box 210789, Montgomery AL 36121). This was Gary's legacy and his Kingdom work-we can't imagine anything more that he would want than for you to help continue this ministry in his name.
We love you. Please stay posted for details about a special slide show and final words.

Oh, Erin, I am so sorry to hear about Gary. Your dad reached out to me 8 years ago when I was struggling with great loss and tremendous trials. He helped to guide me through it and to strenghten my faith. We have kept in touch via email ever since. I always referred to your dad as my email prayer partner. I wish I could have done and been more for him. I wish I had of known about this site sooner so I could have told Gary one more time this side of Glory just how much he means to me and to my husband. Your dad loved you, your sister, your mom and those grandbabies very, very much. He simply glowed when he spoke of you all. Your dad's name is on my computer screen so I would remember to pray for him daily. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you navigate these difficult days to come. I came to love your dad very much and will miss him terribly. I will never forget Gary Hundley!!
Our hearts hurt for all of you. Please know you are in our prayers. Love, Chuck and Tracie
Erin, Brooke, and Hope,
I am so sad. I've been thinking about Gary all day today and every time I do, I remember another "Gary story." Each one makes me smile and eases the sadness a bit.
The best memories were the times we had at camp together so very long ago. At the funeral of my brother-in-law, Tim Bass, in September, we displayed a picture of Tim, Gary, and me dressed like greasers from the '50s, singing a doo-wop song as "Mighty Mark and the Dips." (Or did we call ourselves "Peter, Paul, and Butterball" that year? Memory fades.) Wonderful times, but sad to realize that now two of the three are gone.
I also will never forget skipping the evening lectures at Pepperdine and going to Dodger games with Gary and acting like raving lunatics instead of the dignified clergypersons we sometimes pretended to be.
Gary was a wonderful friend. Hope, you and the girls will always have a special place in our hearts. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Hope:
I have such great memories of worshiping, playing ball and singing with Gary. He was a wonderful man, a great minister and a close friend for so many years. I remember so often at Parkside when I was leaving church and couldn't find Steven. Even though he was only about 18 months old, he would usually be in Gary's office, sitting on Gary's knee discussing politics, religion and current events. I pray that God will bless you with comfort and strength in this difficult time.

Dear Hope, Erin and Brook:
I am deeply saddened at Gary's passing; however, rest assured that the angels are singing to welcome God's faithful servant home. Your father and I had planned on attending the U.S. Open at Oakmont this year, but due to his health, he was unable to attend. I could not bring myself to attend without him so I sold the tickets and watched it on TV. Gary is one of my all-time favorite persons. His fun loving attitude and compassion are what I will remember most about him.
God Speed to you while you mourn and also celebrate the life of this man who touched so many.
Brother-in-law,
John
Sorry I couldn't come. We will miss Gary, I know your pain and suffering as my sister Ellen passed away a year ago. I did not have a computer, therefore I did not know of the arrangements. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Eugene and Judy Crites and family
