Roy Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 It's with the greatest sorrow that I must announce the passing of Gary Vacek this morning. This email was sent to several members a few minutes ago. First of all my name is David Vacek, Gary's son. I am writing this e-mail for my mother and the rest of the family to inform all family and friends of my Dad's that he passed away this morning. Arrangements are being made for a memorial service in Forest, Ontario and will be published in Saturday's Sarnia Observer and next weeks Forest Standard. An online tribute will be posted shortly at http://www.dodgefuneralhome.com/runtime.ph...vigatorId=29209

TJQ Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 OMG, thats terrible news, Gary was a very long time member of this board, back to the very beginning. I spoke with him on the phone frequently during the early days of the board, and he helped to calm me down when there was "trouble". He was a wise, kind and generous gentleman and I will miss him.
