A Webster's Entry for Gary? Hmm.

Direct, forthright, spoke his mind, much respected. More or less sums him up nicely.

He always told me that Roland was not his last name...when I called him Mr. Roland.

We miss you Gary.

Wow...that kind of made it real...

How come they didn't mention his Clown Loaches????

Most people don't know what clown loaches are...

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Yeah... it does make it a bit more real seeing that obituary Ferret.

I knew he was in the newspaper business at one time but I really expected to see that he had done a stint in the military as a drill sargeant or something.

Gary had a powerful personality. The type that isn't likely to be forgotten any time soon by the people he crossed paths with. I bet that is what he would have wanted too.

The strangest thing is, I didn't know he was 67 ... I somehow figured he was around mid-40's, a couple of years older than me ... strange the mental images you have of someone on the Net you've never seen. I had this image of an athletic guy in a safari suit fresh from fish collecting in Papua New Guinea or somewhere whenever I pictured him!

Perhaps he'd like that thought while he's strumming on his harp and telling God that he needs a bigger tank for those Clown Loaches ...

And, I think they could at least have mentioned the phrase "avid fishkeeper" in the obituary. Still, can't have everything. Sigh.

Thank you Shannen. I figured he was in his 60s roughly from the times I've chatted with him but thought him closer to 50s than 70s...At least there is someone above to take good care of those tanks. Heidi

And how about that watch and clock collecting thing? That was the surprise to me! You'd think he would have mentioned it...

I got a feeling theres a whole bunch of 'clockprofiles' members that miss him dearly too.

R.I.P Gary
My prayers go out to a passionate person who will be missed

"Roland" was his middle name?

Gary R. Moorhouse

Yep, Di... Roland was his middle name. I was surprised to discover that when he went 'missing' once before. I was busy searching the net for any reference to Gary Roland in Florida and all I could find was a band called Gary Roland and the Land Sharks! When our Gary returned he explained that Roland was his middle name... but he never did reveal his last name.

By the way, I rather like that the subject of this thread is 'Garyoland'. It's a bit like the Aron/Aaron thing on Elvis' headstone. Has Gary really left the building?

My deepest sympathy to Gary's family. I knew him for a short while (dry wit alright ).
Sorry im late in replying, i've only just seen the thread.
I think the best we can do for the family right now is let them be.This happened to my brother 18 months ago... a breakdown later, it's only now that i can except this happening to my Bro. So please give the family space. Its all we can really do.
Rest easy Gary..

I left this site for quite a while, and when I came back, the first thing I started looking for were some good 'ole Garyroland posts. I always enjoyed his articles... I have many Private messages from him helping me out with my fish. My prayers go out to his spirit and his family.

Sending my deepest regret for garyoland........may u R.I.P and enjoy having ur fishes elsewhere.

Terrible news........

I haven't visited for a while- rarely posted because most of my questions had already been answered
I used to check in daily- and always looked first for Gary's posts and appreciated his advice and dry humour.

Very saddened to learn of his passing-as far as I am concerned- there are many wonderful people here- for me the site wont be the same without him
Deepest sympathies to his family

OMG

I was off the board for a couple of weeks at the end of Jan./beginning of Feb., and just found out what happened.

I literally have tears in my eyes.

Farewell, Gary. You'll be missed more than you'll ever know.
