Oh man, what a tragedy. God Bless Gary, and his family.

I have been on vacation for the last 2 weeks.When I read about Gary the shock was phisicaly sicking.I meet Gary at the Harper Ave cruise in Michigan.He was truely a "Gentleman and Diplomat"

Decided to check in today and catch up on the latest Mopar news. When I saw what it involved it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. I never met Gary in person, but he had answered questions for me and offered advise several times. In addition, he was always one of the first board members to post a word of encouragement when I needed to vent about my sons illness. This is truly one of the saddest things that I have ever heard about. My heart goes out to his family and friends for this horrible and tragic loss.

i just can't believe it. i only knew him from the boards as as well, but he was a caring & helpful individual to say the least. it truly is a tragedy when a good man goes. he will be missed. prayers from me & my family. he will not be forgotten.

Haven't visited this board in months. Dropped in yesterday to the Unlawful Race Only forum. I just assumed he had taken charge of that forum. When I figured out what happened my heart sank.

R.I.P.

I never met Gary but I felt that I knew him through the posts and all the people that responded to him. I`m kind of at a loss for words. I have been reading all the posts in the last few days and many of them are saying what I feel. It was tragedy and it has been hard on the family. The hardest part is yet to come. Once the attention calms down and everybody settles back into their own life, Nicole will be left with an empty space. This is the time that the support needs to carry on and let her know that we will not forget.

I never had a chance to personally meet Gary, but only through Moparts, PM's and the sorts, I was planning a trip to St. Ignace to the big show up there and then get a chance to see him and his car. My prayers are with Gary and his Family.

RIP Gary.

WOW I'm gone for a little while and now this.
Great guy to the Mopar hobby, great tech and advice over the years. He will be missed but many many friends.
A fellow officer in blue lost too soon.
I just recieved word that one of my officers was shot tonight while attempting an apprhension. Just moments before I found out about UN.
Way too soon.....

I haven't been on Moparts for a couple days and just learned of this. My heart sank. I only had one or two board interactions with him, one concerning the color of his challenger (prowler orange). My buddy is painting his 82 shortwide that color because of seeing it on Gary's car. No doubt an upstanding individual with a heart of gold. My condolences go out to all family and close friends.

I saw your post and figured I might know you. I'm Kim, Gary's big sis. I'm glad you we're reunited, I'm sure that made him happy. I don't know how to post yet, just stumbled upon your's. I always liked those Road Runners beep beep!!! Thanks for being part of his great big Moparts.com family. Keep your chin up, he would want you to be smiling.

Looks like your first post went off without a hitch. Good job Kim! Gary would be proud (probally more shocked) that you are posting on Moparts.

I admire your strength. Gary and I weren't close in the sense that many others were close to him... people like the Irons aned racing buddies etc. but we were good chatting buddies be it on the computer, moparts, ims or the phone Gary always liked to talk about cars and most of our conversations revolved around cars and our love for the hobby and for the people in this hobby and of course he mentioned you to me.

I was stricken with how amazing it was that you said for US to keep our chin up when I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling being that you were siblings and knew him better than any of us ever could.

God bless you.

I hope you continue to post and keep Gary's memory alive. None of us will ever forget him nor the kind things he said to us or did for us.

Take care of yourself and don't be a stranger.

Peace,
DG

Got your e-mail Kim....will miss him greatly.
