What made me think of him today was at lunch time I was looking over the coding competition donations, and I remembered back to the very first competition. Gary was the first guy to pledge a donation, actually before we were even collecting donations. He was a generous soul, with boundless enthusiasm and very very talented.

This will be the first coding competition after Gary passed on. On the bus home from work today I had thought about donating a 'lcuk award' to the competition on behalf of his memory but he seemed quite a humble guy, Im not sure if it would fit right. In the end I've decided to match his original donation on behalf of his memory.

Whether his spirit is at the Nokia research centre or flying around the universe, I hope he can feel how appreciated we were of him and that he is still very much a part of our community.
Why not ! he was an absolute idol of an example of a member and coder i just do not know of anyone anywhere that had his enthusiasm and without contempt in any way.

An award to be named after him should this community survive long enough would be the nicest and most decent thing in the memory of a community member who was flawless in his attitude and the perfect example of community member so yes on the anniversary of his passing every year i feel would be something for his memory.

I will once again repeat Kojackers words Gary you are never forgotten and will always be part of this community.
