I didn't know Gary, but he helped me a few times on the board. So sad to lose such a great contributor to his community by all accounts. Prayers go out for his family.

I too only knew of him through his posts on Moparts. Seemed like a real nice guy. My thoughts are with his family. RIP

I can't believe this!!!! Scott just told me Gary had died and I could not believe it!!! I never knew Gary in person but I sure enjoyed talking to him here at moparts and listening to his advice on building my engine. I emailed with him more than a few times. He was a real nice guy and I considered him a friend even though we never met. When Scott told me he had died I felt real bad. That horrible hollow void in the chest. It sucks to loose friends all of a sudden because of stupid accidents like this. I lost one of a my best friends about 2 years ago in a car accident and it was really sad. It's sad to see young, good hearted, talented people die like that all of a sudden. Its like they are today with you, talking, looking fine and the next minute...poof they are gone.... SUCKS!! I will miss Gary. Still cant believe this....my prayers are with Gary and his family. Domingo

WOW! I don't know what to say right now....I just heard about Gary. I never met him in person, but talking with him on the board, and his help he always provided made me FELL like I knew him. A very stand up guy indeed....and what a sad day it is. You will be missed by many Gary
My condolences to his family and all of his fellow officers.

This sucks. I had the honor of meeting him a couple of years ago in Ohio. I could just tell by talking with him here that he was an outstanding human being. My thoughts go out to his family and close freinds. This is extremelly tragic. He will be missed here.

Whilst alot of us, myself included, never had the chance to meet Gary, I think it's safe to say that he has touched everyone on the board in the only way that Gary could. All I can say that is I am in total shock, it is going to take a long time to get used to not seeing Gary on the board, I will certainly miss him. My condolences go out to his family and friends, Gary was an exceptional person, and will be missed by all he touched. Alan Jones (AL...) Melbourne Australia

IM a new member to moparts and never had a chance to know Gary but from what I have read from everyone it seems he touched more lives then anyone could ever know. I do remember his car and thinking how cool and nice it was to see a challenger of that year in the spot light. I do hope the Magazines pay tribute to him and his family and to show everyone that we not only lost a great car guy, officer but a great man. My family and I will keep Gary and his family in our thoughts and prayers. I would also like to say to everyone that new him IM sorry and you all are in my thoughts and prayers to.
