I did not know Gary or anything. But i've heard that he was a genius of geniuses and he even got the MVP award before he died. May he rest in peace.

I did not know Gary, but I have two things in common. Both of use have been awarded an MVP from Microsoft, but He was a Veteran. I mourn for all my Brothers that pass. For his family, I am vary sorry to hear that he has been taken from you so suddenly. He is still with you and with all of us just as long as he is remembered.

Gary is already being missed on Seven Forums. He was a good friend to many of us and I, along with many other of us, will miss his wit (aka delightful zaniness), expertise, and pleasant personality. The Forums will not be the same without him. My prayers have gone out to Pam and the rest of Gary's family.

You were always so helpful and willing to go the extra mile for those in need of technical help. I hope in 40 years time I still have the love and interest of all things computers, and that I can leave half the impact on forums as you have.

Remember the good times with joy, and maybe a happy tear. Gary had a way of making people smile and laugh. The roughness was a cover for a very sensitive person.

I'm glad you enjoyed the project it was my pain and joy to make it,
Gary was a special person and he will be sorely missed,
We had many conversations and he helped me so many times.
Hardware and when I first started to get into graphics work,
He always helped everyone without hesitation his honest feedback and humor will be missed,
For someone that I've never met in person this is my greatest loss but I take great joy in even meeting him in the virtual world,
Rest in peace Gary Britton,

I will miss Gary on the forum but no where else because I know he is in a better place and watching. I know of no one who didn't like Gary and respect Gary.
This will always be.
It hurts us to see him go.
I will in time get over his departing but never forget him.

Rest in peace Gary L. Britton.... We may have not gotten along sometimes but we were always there to help each other out. I wish I could have gotten there a little faster that night to save you, or if I would have known your pain was so severe when you called me I would have called 911 instead of just agreeing to take you to the hospital but there was no pain or suffering in your voice when you called and asked me to take you to the hospital. Please watch over mom and comfort her, your passing hasn't completely hit her yet, she cries sometimes but she has not broken down and let herself cry to long but I know it is coming and I know you will be there for her as you always have been.

Funny how you get used to someone always being there and only realize after they are gone how much they were a part of your life. We weren't close friends Gary but your presence was always felt and appreciated. Thank you for everything, we are all a little better having known you and what you leave behind are great memories.
You've left a big hole in our community where your friendship, wit, knowledge and willingness to help will be sorely missed.
I'm happy to know you were recognized with the MVP award, the top achievement, which you earned and deserved for all you have done at our forum community.
Rest in Peace Gary.
My sincere condolences to Pam and all your friends and family.

I am so sorry Pam.
God has another Angel , we hope to see again one day
Gary was a wonderful man in so many ways.A rare person.He had a very special qualitys,among so many. Too many to list. But most importantly no one could ever accuse Gary of lieing to them. You may not always liked Garys opnion, but he gave it honestly.
Gary was a special man for so many reasons.
He had a big heart. Too big sometimes.
He jumped right in and became the grandfather our children didnt have. Not his job but he took the time to care and tossing a ball with a little girl was enjoyment not a bother.
He was our so very good friend.
I/we will never forget him.
I am so sorry for you loss, your familys and the worlds.
Gary did leave this world a better place for beiing a part of it.
Till we meet again Gary.

My sincerest condolences to Pam and the rest of the Family.

"Death is nothing,
I have simply crossed over to the other side.
I am me,
you are you.
What we were for each other, we are still.
Give me the name you have always given me.
Speak to me like you have always done.
Don't use a different tone,
Don't be solemn or sad.
Keep laughing at what made us laugh together...
Smile. Think of me, smile with me.
Say my name at home,
like it has always been said,
without any empashis at all,
without traces of shadow.
Life signifies what it has always signified.
It is what it has always been:
the cord is not cut.
Why should I be out of your thoughts,
just because I am out of your sight?
I am not far.
Just on the other side of the road.
You see? All is well.
You will find my heart again."
