I only just saw this and I am stunned. Gary was the one who gave me a set of offset shackles when I had asked where to get them from. What a wonderful person he was and what a tragic loss. My condolences to his family. Quote:

I've only met Gary and Nicki a few times over at Bubba and Krissy's house, they were very nice people. My heart is breaking for Nicki and the rest of Gary's family and friends, the sudden and tragic loss of a loved one is always so hard. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers,words can not express my sadness. RIP Gary !
Julie LaMothe ( Bubba's sis-in-law) As for me , mightymo, I had the privlege of knowing Gary for a couple of years, during that time we had a lot of good times and great memories. Gary will be missed by all of us. I send my deepest sympathy to Nicki and the rest of Gary's family. This world will not be the same without him.

A post from a fellow Police Officer (NY state), Moparts member and car enthusiest..God Bless..the polceman's prayer:
A KNIGHT HAS FALLEN AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT THE YOUNG AND THE COURAGEOUS SOMETIMES DIE.
WE WILL MISS THIS PROTECTOR AND GUARDIAN OF LIFE FOR SOMETIMES THESE THINGS BRING THE GREATEST OF STRIFE.
MORNING IS BREAKING AND GOD HAS OPENED HIS GATES. THE SUN IS RISING, IT WILL NO LONGER WAIT.
BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART AS TIME PASSES BY THAT WE WILL REMEMBER THIS KNIGHT WHEN WE SEE THE SPRING SKIES.

Its so sad I am fairly new to the forum and I only knew him as text on a page but I feel as though I lost a close friend. I was stuck in the traffic on I-75 that morning near the accident and had no idea, what a shock when I heard the news.
What a great bunch of Mopar loving people on this site and WOW what a presence Gary had on people all over the country.
Rest in peace.

Man, I'm speechless!!!!! I've been off the computer for a week now and just was able to check the board and here I find this. Seems way too many of our national treasures are being wasted everyday. It saddens me to see such a young guy taken away for something that could have been prevented. My wife and I send our condolances to Gary's family and may he rest in peace in that he is now in a better place.

I am new to this forum, read thru it every night but dont post much since Im new to this forum and new to the mopar world...just wanted to say that im touched by the responses on here....im a cop in Los Angeles and can see that Gary was well respected here, wish I could of met him....I've always enjoyed his posts. If anyone knows of any of his fellow officers I think they would very much appreciate knowing about this site and this thread especially, i have known fellow officers who have been killed and oh man, its hard. All the feeling expressed here would be greatly appreciated by them I know.
Just at a lost for words...you just never know when its ur time, my partner and I had a accident yesterday also, ran into a light pole while rolling code 3 after someone who didnt see us tried to turn right into us. Airbags deployed, unit was totaled, but we both walked away with some scratches.....and then I read this, live every day like its your last.
Just wish I could of known him.
