I haven't had a chance to interact with Gary personally, but I followed him on twitter, TMO and chatted with him on IRC.

For people who didn't know him for long, take a look at this video.

This is just a fraction of what he was capable of. His ideas were ahead of time and inspirational to others. He was passionate about his work.

Maybe I am not way off when I say people like Gary are the reason most of us are sticking around this community through out these times.

RIP lcuk.
