sad news indeed. some of them clouds we see are likely from his heavenly smoker. r.i.p. gary. my thoughts and prayers are with his family.,
 
Just got back from a week of elk hunting and Gary's smiling face was the first photo I saw when I logged in, then I read the title. Shock cannot describe what I felt. The world has lost an amazing man. He always had a kind word, he'd go out of his way to help and never expected anything in return. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kathy, Lisa and the rest of his family. 

RIP my friend, you will be missed but never forgotten.
 
Wow...Scar greeted me when I joined and was always a source of info, good cheer and encouragement.  He will be missed.

My wife and I send our heartfelt condolences.
 
So very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Like so so many others here on this forum, he gave me a warm greeting when I joined and always had good advice when needed. You'll be smokin' for our Father now in His backyard and I'm sure the Angels will be lining up for a taste.

A man whom I never met but who was obviously incredibly generous and friendly.  I'm sure he will long be remembered as an extraordinary individual.
 
Gary...YOU will be sorely missed here on these forums!  I came to know you via this forum and got to be great friends.  Gary and I traded "stuff" on many occasion.  He always sent me the most delicious Avacado's you could get your hands on.

I just took for granted that Gary would always be here, and NOW he's gone. This is truely a sad event for not only me, but this entire Smoking community

Prayers are with you Gary and family.

What a tribute to the man that there is many pages here dedicated to his memory, On the day he passed I was having my own life battle but managed to turn left and pass go on the op table.

Gary welcomed me to this board as well, always had sage comments and obviously will be sadly missed. 

Sorry my posting is so late this is my first time back in a fortnight.

I came to this very late as well.Away fishing then back into hectic work deal.Gary sent me best wishes for my fishing trip then you log in & he is gone. He was obviously a "giver" in all aspects of his life.  Condolences for all his family & friends. 

Might do something in my woodfired oven in his memory.
 
I am sure going to miss his expertise and words of wisdom. I always listened to his advice because he was always on top of things here at SMF.

Our Prayers go out to the family and friends.
