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.

I'm honestly hoping for a miracle....

Poor Gary... I hope he makes a quick recovery and is back to his "grumpy old man" antics again.

Wow

Ferretfish is in vermont but I texted her the news...she replied...

" in thoughts/prayers, and hopes for as much peace as there is in the mtns up here"

I can't believe it. Gary is and was a father to me in the fish world. I think we should rename the MVM award to the GaryRoland award. Gary is and was the greatest member this site has EVER had.

not much more to say..

Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more. For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4

Prayers out to the family, and everything will turn out ok in the end.

Hi Everyone.
Because Gary and I exchanged emails behind the scenes
so to speak, I wrote him as I said I would.
Today, I received this message from his wife:

Hi,

This is Gary's wife.

Gary had a stroke last Friday. He is in the hospital in poor condition.

It is not likely that he will recover.

He has truly enjoyed the FP site.

Judy

I have asked Judy to tell him at an appropriate time
that we will all miss him and that they have our
condolences.
To that Susan and I added that they would be in our prayers.

Frank

That is too bad... I hope Gary returns.

OMG - I'm very sad for him.

Frank, thank you so much for emailing and please convey our heartfelt thanks to his wife for letting us know. So often in cyberworld, people just fade away with no word. At least we know.

My prayers are with you Gary, even if you can't read this.

Do we have any members near Vero Beach that could at least offer Gary's wife a hand in dealing with the fish? Hopefully, she has someone that can help her. She doesn't need all that right now.

I do hope he beats the odds.

amazing how somethings can change so quickly in the blink of an eye

Damn this! This sucks!

All he ever did was try to help people, and this is the thanks he gets!





I really hope he pulls thru this!!

*speachless...*

Nothing I can say. Thoughts and prayers go out to him...and his wife. I can only hope that he will recover.
