When I heard the traffic reoprt in the morning I thought of Un but then thought no he works in Farmington Hills not Bloomfield Hills. I was wrong.
Was watching the 5 O'clock news and they started to describe "The Officer" I didn't know his last name, then they said his wife was an Officer also....I thought No it can't be.....When they said they go camping with their three boxers...I thought Oh $%^&....I remembered his post about the new pup a while back and when the showed Mopar Muscle Cover with his car......I could not believe it.
I never met Gary in person but always read his posts.....he always had something worth reading.


He will be greatly missed.

My Prayers and Condolences go out the his Family and Freinds

Gary

As like many others, I never actually met Gary but felt like I knew him because of his presence on this board and his popularity. My prayers go out to his family

I heard the sad news just a moment ago here in England.
Although I only post now and again, I check out Moparts nearly every day and like many Mopar fans here in the UK, I felt like I Knew Gary...unlawfl will be sadly missed.

I don't know or have nothing much else to say except my deepest sympathies to his family and everybody that knew him. I never got a chance to meet him or anything. It's just a shame.

It took me a while to even respond to this as it's one of the few things that kocks me off my feet. Let me be brief.

Gary helped me from day one on MOPARTS. He was the FIRST answer on my FIRST post over 4 years ago. He's a big reason, I've went this far in the sport. He first seeded my enthusiasm by selling me his "Unlawfl Wieand Excelerator." My car picked up .6 ET and 5 mph as a result. That lit the fire. After that, I promised HIM, I'd NEVER sell it or yield it to anyone BUT him. It has been a standing joke with several of us.

If anyone can think of anything to do with "his favorite manifold," I'd appreciate some ideas. I'm sure he'd LHAO if we could cast it into his headstone. If anyone could strap it on and make a 9 second pass before retiring it with Gary, that would be cool. I'll donate what it takes, to get it where it needs to be, in the condition we'd like to present it in.

RIP Un. You can ride in my Coronet anytime.

Sorry to hear the news, Gary will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family. Fords suck.

I am totally shocked and sadenned. It doesn't seem real... I only met him once, but he was so very genuine and easy to like. Just a super guy! I can't believe he is gone. My prayers go out to his family at this time and may he rest in peace...

This is a tragedy and just another reason showing why alcohol and driving do not mix. Hopefully someday they will make cars or some sort of system that will not allow people to drink & drive. I am very sad for the loss of Gary and pray for his family. I also never had the pleasure of meeting Gary but as stated many time on this post, he was very well liked and will definitely be missed. I think it is a great honor and gesture to retire his username here on moparts and it just goes to show what a class act this board is.

Maybe a picture of Gary and/or his badge could be placed on the home page of moparts in memory of him.

My prayers go out to Gary's family.

I hung with him at the Nats a little on Brice and at the Norwalk CC. He was a great guy!! He will be missed terribly.

My prayers go out to his family.

Let him live in the hearts of those who are true
His family, and honour and all that is good

Having done what he must, we hold true what we can
To live with honour, and pass in peace...

It is this that makes a gentleman.

And so let us all gather round
all who know him and hear

on the common ground those who weep
each childs passing tear

and let it not be wasted
in an absent land.

(To Gary's family from across the ocean. Please make sure his family is ok.)

Shocking, god bless his family.

My sincerest condolences go out to all of those who knew him.

His family is in my families prayers.

This is a tremendous loss. His presence and voice will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends

All's I can say is DAMN. Gary was one of the best, while I did not personally know him I developed a knowledge of him on this site. he was always fair, professional and never abused his position as a moderator. I am sure he lived his life in the same way. What a waste. His presence will definitely be missed. My condolonces and prayers to his wife and family

Tim

I add my condolences to his wife and family.
He will be remembered in my prayers.

I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said already. I only chatted with him a few times here on the site, but he was always positive and upbeat about everything. You will be missed, Gary. God bless and RIP.

God bless you Gary, you will be missed dearly by us all.

THATS A SHAME. I DIDN'T KNOW HIM, BUT I READ STUFF FROM HIM JUST ABOUT EVERYDAY ON HERE, SO I FEEL LIKE I KNEW HIM. I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR HIS FAMILY. GOD BLESS THEM.
