TheTerrorist_75 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I miss Gary's hilarious Sunday morning phone calls. He helped me keep my sanity while recuperating from my surgeries. He could cause some turmoil on the forums, but mostly he entertained us with his humor. Gary was a great friend and is missed by many. I hope his next life goes well.

Pete_C Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I miss him too; along with all the other members of the old guard who have passed; and the young ones like Drew lost before their time.I remember when he had a pic of a panhandler with a sign "Why lie, I need money for a beer" taken at the old rail trestle by white rock lake in Dallas a mile or so from my house as his sig. It used to really crack me up . Wish I had saved it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbynichols Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I remember Il_wiccan from way back to the TTV days too, [or was it the early days of G4?... I get fuzzy-minded from all the transitions since the Leo & Kate days of TTV/zdnet]). His humor was infectious.Did I miss something re: confirmation of his passing? Or is he still MIA ? (never mind G$ thread I found... Also old Besttechie threadDid anyone know Gary's last name or city so a proper search could be done in the obits? on or after 8/25/2005 (last date I found him contributing to besttechie) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marsh_0x Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I remember when he had a pic of a panhandler with a sign "Why lie, I need money for a beer" taken at the old rail trestle by white rock lake in Dallas a mile or so from my house as his sig. It used to really crack me up . Wish I had saved it.My searches were also futile.We talked on a daily bases and then the phone went unanswered for 2 weeks before being disconnected.Don knows that deep voice of his and a train always in the background.Gary was going to visit me, missed meeting him, Just a few days away from his trip.He has a friend in Ashland (John), but not the last name.I did finally start the bonfire in his honor and it was huge.Even roasted Marsh mellows hahaOn G4 it was out of respect when I would ahahahI wasn't aware he had a son ?, only 4 married daughters.Sadly missed.

cherokeechief Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 i shall miss gary as well. i did not know him as well as marsh, but i do remember him from the old TechTV days, and when he went over to G4 and here.i always wondered what happened to him.i always kept looking for him to pop up with his funny wit, and even funnier pics.he will be missed, but IMO he is looking down at us and thinking what a way to be remembered.may he rest in peace,and god bless.
