Well, sad times. Is there anyway we can get a memorial together with Jack Irons and Gary's family? I have something special, and I'm sure others would like to chime in. We can do it at the Monster Mopar in Norwalk this September. What do you guys think? any chance of having his Challenger there?

These are some pics i took a long time ago,,,,

I ran into Jack Irons and Russ (Gary's friend) @ Carlise. Not sure where the car is. I didn't inquire
Would be cool to see his car again.

One of the saddest days in Moparts history.

Truer words have never been said. I've got a Moparts-specific gift for his wife.

I doubt Gary's wife reads this, so I might as well tell you guys what I have. I have a Great Lakes Chapter of Moparts, Unlawfl Moparts poster signed by many, many Moparts members. Most of whom signed it when I had it on my black 71 4 speed Satellite at Norwalk 7 years ago. I'd like to give it to her, plus get some more signatures. I hope they can be there.

On the signed poster I think it should be private unless she wants it otherwise.JMO.Maybe Bader will let a parade go down track of cars slow with a flag.

I think this is a great idea to honor him.
And i also remember signing that banner 7 years ago.
It was rainy mess that weekend, but we all managed to have a good time.

I'm in to help any way I can for a tribute

Fran, it's funny now, though. Let's keep this alive. I know Josh would allow something. Can somebody let Joel, Jack, or maybe Dave D know?

Well I may be able to bring Gary's Challenger down for Friday afternoon and Saturday and If I find the time to get the valves lashed, the seat belts and the oil changed maybe I'll make a few passes. - Russ

Wow...10 years. I remember where I was when I heard the news. I was an inspector on a Asphalt paving job when the contractor (who was also a Moparts member) came up to me and told me....and I live in CA. I never met Gary in person...but it still had quite the impact on me.

The Moparts family was particularly tight back then (imho)....and Gary was a part of that. He was a great guy...we exchange a lot of friendly PM's back then.

Russ, this would be so special. Maybe have it on display by the gas pump or somewhere up front, not too far for everyone to see it. I'll bring over the banner early. Maybe we can have a specific photo-op time in between the rounds? Josh already said he's up for whatever Russ or family agrees on. Thanks, Josh.

never were truer words written. I never met gary either but i'd like to think we were friends through Moparts. As i sit back and think where i was 10 years ago, and how much life has changed for me, i also thing about how i changed my life. It was one of the defining moments that I realized you never know when it is your turn, so make the most of every minute you have in this great life. For a lot of us, Moparts is our second family. Strangers connected through a common interest. Most of us would drop whatever we had going on to help another in need. The proverbial shirt off our back. Gary was the poster child for that. That he was a public servant made his passing that much more senseless. Officer Davis, you are clear from duty.

From what I understand, Russ will have the UNLAWFL Challenger at the show, and will try to make a couple "fun" passes. Details to hopefully follow.

Russ, just to be sure, will you and the Challenger be at Norwalk this weekend? I'll have the Moparts banner in my swap spot. Everybody please stop by and sign it. There are several passed members on it as well.

Pics from years past.
