He was born February 5, 1935, in Van Wert County, the son of George “Harold” and Dorothy (Pangle) Gamble, who both preceded him in death. On June 27, 1977, he married Phyllis Ann Zeigler and she died July 21, 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A son, Thomas Wayne Gamble; one brother, Paul Gamble; and a sister, Mildred Heath, also preceded him in death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitation will be from 2-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, at Alspach-Gearhart Funeral Home & Crematory in Van Wert.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A private family graveside service will be held at a later date at Tomlinson Cemetery in Mendon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
