OMG! I can't believe it. I was just reading his posts last night. I'm heartbroken. Gary was one of a select few you could count on to help when things looked unsolvable. This is a huge loss to all of us he left behind. My prayers go out to the family and to all his friends in hopes that their pain is eased knowing he is in good hands now. We shall forever remember and miss Gary's contributions to the computer world and our lives.

Good Bye, my friend. I'm in tears.

I'm simply stunned. I'm so very sorry to see this. My sincere prayers and condolences to all in the Britton family.

Its very sad to lose such an established member of the community. Condolences to Gary's family. He will be missed.

RIP Britton30

 

[Jacee]

My heart and prayers are with Gary's family. I'm 'stunned', like most of you have already said.

I'm so sad about this awful news.

 

[Computer0304]

This is shocking news. I don't know what to say. It was just too sudden.

R.I.P. Gary.

You were a great member of SF and a great friend to everyone here. Your work will always be remembered.​

I'm lost for words, goodbye my friend.

Just talked to Pam and will keep you posted on services. He may not have died from a heart attack as he fell and hit his head on a chair or desk. The autopsy report will determine the cause of death.

He had no burial insurance of any kind but Pam may have found an organization that will do the cremation for free.
I told her not to worry as I and others will help her in the costs as some of us did for Mike.

Will keep you posted as she won't know anymore until tomorrow or the next few days.
I am sure he is up there with Mike bragging about his Most Valuable Person award.

May they both RIP!
THW

Well I am still just dumbstruck as we were great friends and I shall miss him greatly. If someone is going to organize a collection to help Pam out I am more than happy to help with a little something if anyone does organize anything please PM me and let me know. I can arrange something with whoever that might be as have no way of contacting Pam.

I am well and truly gutted after hearing this as Gary was the dogs bollocks.

RIP Gary, condolences to the family

I am also very shocked to hear of Britton30 (Gary's) passing as I was still awestruck by Gary's achievement of becoming one of our newest MVP's, I should also mention that Gary also earned his GFX badge from humble beginnings proving that anyone is never to old to learn new things and achieve their goals.

I credit Gary & along with other helpful members posting in the PC Custom Builds and Overclocking thread with giving me the confidence and knowledge to build my first computer which still serves as my main Rig.

RIP Gary with my deepest condolences to your wife Pam and family plus your many friends you have made online or in real life.

This reminds me too much about my grandmother too who died last year in a similar way. I still can't believe it.

R.I.P. Gary and my Grandmother

I am in shock of hearing this, and at a loss of words to express how fond I was of watching him give solid advice . May he be with the angels ..

I cannot shake that Gary had replied to a musical interlude in his MVP congrats thread with this:

Thanks Greg, I like this too. No hidden meanings, I like their tunes.

He says there's no hidden meanings but I wonder if there is plain meaning that it was all too much for him. His reaching for Roy for another choice played earlier, and specifically the Wilbury's who were more or less a gathering to send off dying greats.

It is all too much and all too little to try to find meaning from. Rayda and I were careful to handle Gary's MVP nomination with the greatest care because we were closest to him of all our nominees.

For Gary's family, virtual and real: Know that your Husband, father and friend was a mainstay who helped create one of the top help sites in web history. For this he is honored and will be remembered by us all, and had received just last week the highest award given in the tech field.

It seems so obvious but yet so personal so this is for his wife, daughters and loved ones, but we too are wounded and grieving here for a loss that is hard to absorb.
