I used to email Gary and he actually always wrote back. I bought all of his books. I'm still so sad he's gone. I'd like to think he's just happy and in hiding for knowing too much.

Never met Gary, but listened to his Podcast. Just today i went to look it up for new episodes and found out about his passing.

I frequently listened to Gary's podcast and purchased a few of his books. He had great wisdom and was an excellent communicator. I will miss him as will many others. Rest in peace in Gary.

I am saddened to hear of Gary's passing. Although I only knew of him through his books and podcasts, he provided hours of enjoyment and brought value to everything he was a part of. His honest, "to the point" candor and passion for what he did always showed. I am certain I am one of many fans who will miss him and his work tremendously. Godspeed, Gary.

Sending prayers to all of his family and friends. This is a huge shock! We are only one month apart, too dang young. We hung out as young kids, either at Sears or at Western Auto. We reconnected as adults and emailed from time to time. It was always good to communicate with a likeminded person. I'll miss those emails and also supporting his company. Rest in Peace My Friend!
