Retired when pressure from the higher ups get intense after I called out my boss for unwanted sexual pressure on his underlings. Still friends with almost all the managers I
worked with. I play guitar (worked in bands for years) and am a photographer. I love TV - a great place for a second life.

Regretfully, I must let you know that Gary passed away peacefully at his home this week after a long and chronic illness. I was a new friend of only a few weeks. Gary allowed me the privilege of knowing his incredibly sweet soul, for just too short a time.

You know him as Geewiz on TOTV, for all his witty gritty posts. That might have been a cover for someone God made too tender for this life.

Rest in peace my friend. I miss you.

Thanks for letting us know, Kitty.

Gary did share some of his medical concerns so I think many of us knew it was touch and go for him. I hope his end was peaceful and that he felt blessed, and loved.

I am so sorry to hear this. Gary had such a great attitude about life even though he was facing serious health issues. I will definitely miss his humorous posts on TOTV. Wish I had been there to meet him at Kitty's party.

Thanks kitty for letting us know. We were at the same table at your house & he told us some of his problems. I am so sorry to hear this and he will be missed.

[Midvale]

A shame. You'd never have guessed from his upbeat posts that he had any problems. Will be missed.

[Taltarzac725]

Sorry to hear this. His posts will be sorely missed.

[pooh]

Such sad news. Thank you for letting us know of Gary's passing. He will be missed.

Sad, we pm'd back & forth on Home Theatre equip, enjoyed his posts.

How old was he?

Didn't he just retire?

[Serenoa]

Wow, sure do hate to hear this. Was hoping I'd be able to swing by "Bad Manors" some day & visit. I'll miss his unique, witty posts.

[DianeM]

What a shame. Just thought of him today ironically that I had not seen postings from him in a while.

[Parker]

Oh dear. Very sad to hear this and was so hoping the health options he was seeking would work out for him. I must say he seemed very centered, and it was obvious to me that he had spent a lot of time figuring out what was important in his life. I pray his journey will be all he hoped for.

[redwitch]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know how much this must be hurting you, Kitty. His journey on earth was too short.

[zonerboy]

Yes, very sorry to hear this news.
May he rest in peace.
