Gary was a friend and a coworker. In fact, if it hadn't been for him, I'd have probably not applied to join Collabora, as I'd not have thought to apply there.

The few times we met face to face, I saw into the soul of an amazingly likable, intelligent, and helpful man.

His contributions both in technical prowess, constantly pushing others to do their best, community sheep-herding, and more leave a gaping hole both in our community & in the lives of those that knew him.

I will miss him and our occasional late night rambles. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
