I know several of you are Facebook friends with Artie or maybe had other channels of communication. I would like to request if any of you see information regarding obituary or memorial services if you could please post here. I would very much like to know if and when his family has made any "in lieu of flowers" request and I'd also like to know his parents' address so I might make a donation to MRF in his memory. I'm hesitate to post someones personal address on this site but if you could message it to me that would be great. I'm not sure if his parents knew how much he was loved by this site but I think it would be a wonderful gesture if there was a fundraising effort in his honor. Right now on the MRF donation page I don't see a way to let the family know the donation would be from Artie's MPIP family but maybe someone on the MRF staff can help us with that.
Thanks,
Brian

I think that is a GREAT idea….as someone who lost a brother to cancer at the age of 36, and watched parents bury a child, i know it was very comforting for then to receive, notes, cards, donations in his name and more.
I too am happy to help in any way…..
MAybe Tim (from MRF) could help in some way to provide an address, though not sure regarding provacsy issues….it would be great for his family to receive cards, donations to MRF, and remembrances in Arties name.

Yes, Brian. I agree. I would like to donate in Artie's memory and would like his parents and family to know how much he meant to us. It won't be the same without Artie. I loved all his" I dunno's" and just how personable he responded. He was so caring. I hope Tim from MRF will help us and perhaps someone can get some information as to how we could send our sympathies to his parents. They must be so crushed. He fought so hard and they did too. Gosh, he was only 48. Many tears for this sweet young man who really did all he could to win the battle. Very brave guy.

Thanks Becky. Here's a link to Artie's funeral home page:
I called the funeral home and if you would like to contribute to his memorial fund make check out to "Glen A. "Artie" Vangampler Scholarship and you can mail to Campbell Funeral Home, 609 W. Main St, Carmi, IL 62821.
Still hoping we can get a MPIP MRF donation together with the help of MRF staff.

There but for the grace of God go I . . . . This is terrible news to hear.
I have no earthly idea how to post a link on this forum, but if you go the website of the Campbell Funeral Home in Carmi, IL, there is information there under the "Funerals" heading.
