As a recent Rennlister, I enjoyed everything he contributed and the special way he provided his insights. Many had that pleasure over a longer course than me, but I'm thankful I had at least a bit of that time. I signed on most nights to see what he was writing - Whether it was some little known facts or reflections on a recent escapade written with wonderful articulation. Very sad to see him go. May Gary rest in pease.

I'm a recent Rennlist member myself but enjoyed reading his posts very much and looked forward to many more - he clearly touched many lives through his online presence and I'll certainly miss his wit here. My condolences to his family and friends.

Man this is STUNNING, Gary a fellow scientist and Engineer came up to visit us just a couple months ago, I rode in his panamera that he had as a loaner while he waited on his lovely white 991 Cab.
We spent all day talking about Porsches and my 4 chihauahaus just loved the man. Then after he got his
Cab, just gorgeous, with a lovely rich brown interior, we went down and had lunch with him in Lancaster, and I got a ride in his 991. I am floored and stunned. I had no idea.

Being relative new to rennlist community, I quickly found Gary's post pretty much show up on every question about Porsche with meticulous technical details broken down that a regular joe and understand. He will be a sad loss to the world of Porsche. May he rest in peace.

I'm a new rennlister awaiting pickup of my 1st Porsche. I've found Gary's contribution most enlightening, in particular his post on PDCC convinced me to add it to my build! He will be missed! RIP
