Until now I have hesitated to post a reply here because I couldn't find the words to express how I feel. While I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, I have a hollow feeling inside. When one of my cars made the cover of Mopar Muscle, Gary was the first to send me a e-mail to congratulate me. When I got in an argument with another member over something stupid, Gary sent me a e-mail and reminded me that I was arguing with someone who didn't share the same appreciation for restored cars. Through his many posts, he showed that he was a first class gentleman and I'm sure those who were close to him feel like they have been robbed of something precious. Like myself, I'm sure many other members share the huge sense of loss and have shed a few tears over such a tragic event.

My condolences to his wife Nicki and the rest of his family and friends.
