Terribly sad news.
I remember meeting Gary first time in the first Maemo Summit in Berlin. Jussi Mäkinen was talking with him and asked me to come over. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out that here's an absoultely brilliant dude doing something extremely cool. His Liqbase experiments were unlike anything else I'd seen done for Maemo previously - exploring things like spatial UI's, multiple users co-creating and sharing content on the fly etc.
When talking about open devices for people to enable and enhance their creativity, Gary is a person that always comes to my mind. Perhaps the rest of the world will still one day catch up.
Rest in peace, and all the best to his family under this difficult time.
