Our time on Earth is very short - Does not man have a very hard service on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired man?
Gary actually was much more than mouth, and that alone puts him above his fellow man. Gary used his brief time to help his fellow man as much as possible. He didn't just talk the talk - he walked in the shoes of others and carried others through their tough times. Gary will surely be missed in much larger circles than the web, and that's a big circle right there.
Gary danced his short time on earth. And it was an eloquent dance. Live on, Gary! We can only hope to join you in the good place.
