The first time I met Gary in person was at a Norwalk Classic event. He asked me if I'd drive to the other side of the track and get his EZ-UP tent, and tossed me the keys to his Chally. It drove like a brand new car. What an awesome person he was, still miss him.

I've never met Gary in person....but I bought some parts off him and they showed up to my house before I even had a chance to mail him the money.

Gary was always the man of reason around here....and was the first to help if he could. We traded a lot of PM's and he was a great guy and is sorely missed. There are mopar guys that live around here... half way across the country from where he lived and they still talk about him and his awesome car.

I never knew him and now I know we were in the same events a number of times and that bothers me a little.


Rest In Peace Gary

He sure did like my chicken wings ....People like Gary leave a legacy....not all of us can say that when our time has come....





He sure did!! The First time I met him was at the Norwalk Classic event. He was admiring my Souped up Golf cart I had there, So I said hey take it for a ride and he did.

After coming back with a Big smile he was adament about making sure I would come back to have some of "Erics Wings" later that evening.

There were alot of Members there that day and I felt he played a Big Role in bringing them All Together.

Eric was there with his Winny, Wings, and his Green Duster

Bob/Prosport and Challenger Rick!, Fran/10sec GTX and Rich/Sunroof, 440 Jim, Calculating stuff and Many, Many, Many others.

Gary was the catalist that bought alot of us together at that event. Even though ,I never made it back to try Erics wings and hang around.

Im glad I had the Priviledge of meeting him and shall always miss him. mike

6 years ago? Somehow it feels like it was a lifetime ago that he was on the board. Anyone know where his car ever ended up or did his family keep it?

Hard to believe it has been 6 years already. Then again it is hard to believe I have been on Moparts for 12 years already.

I knew Gary for a while(not long enough) but I was
fortunate to have been able to help him out... when
Gary wanted to take his car to the Detroit hotrod
show he asked if he could borrow my enclosed trailer
of course I said no problem...this was the show that
his car was in the magazine... he was quite thankful
for the use of it......... RIP
