A life well lived. RIP Gary 

Although I didn't know him long he always had interesting advice and perspective on topics. Also just seemed like a genuine guy. Lets all catch one for him. Rest in peace my friend.

Thank you Glenn for letting us know.  Gary will be missed for sure.

That’s a real shame. He will definitely be missed. I hope he was able to get out one last time on the water after he was last on here, and hope he was able to spend his last days with those he loved. 

My thoughts and prayers to all his family and friends.

Sad to see this but at the same time find some comfort knowing he was able to celebrate one more Thanksgiving and Christmas with his loved ones before passing. Always a friendly, kind and uplifting person on here and he'll definitely be missed. Thoughts and prayers for his friends and family that are grieving the loss of a great man.

RIP O.N.

 

Sad news but at least his suffering is over. I wish I could have half the positivity of that man in my mind.

Peace in Eternity 

So sorry to hear this. He was always a positive presence and will be greatly missed.

Very sad news. He in my mind was a man's man. Giving, thoughtful, and very courageous. He will be missed in a big way. 

I don’t know if he was still actively posting by the time I joined BR as he doesn’t sound familiar. But he sounds like a heck of a nice guy that will be missed. 

 

RIP, ON. 

Prayers for his family, he will be missed greatly.

RIP Gary . . .
