That is too bad. Anyone know what happened? Was he sick?

Must have been that treacherous Bob in Niles palling up with Dan that broke Lil' Gary's heart. :(

That sucks.....I kind of liked Gary's calls the times I heard them. The Expos just lost a fan.

I don't know why but Dan's tweet bugged me. The way he phrased it. Maybe just being crusty with announcing someone's passing in 140 characters or less.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Love him or indifferent towards him, he will always be a part of the show. RIP Gary.

Didn't he just call in the week before last? Must have been something unexpected.

Even when memorializing someone, people are taking shots @ Bernsie.

RIP.

Always found his craps oddly amusing.

Yes.

I'm sorry he's dead. But the only way I know the guy is from WYC.

And he was terrible at it.

Supposedly died peacefully in his sleep.

Yeah, Twitter can sometimes read poorly when it comes to this stuff. I think you are just making something out of nothing with Bernstein's tweet.

Gary is no doubt in the WYC HOF, along with Cleveland Mike, Patio Steve, Cheesehead Scott, & Raffy from Berwyn. I'll miss Gary's craps.

Given I hate BB and seldom listen, was Gary the guy with the same sound effects and the weird voice that usually led off WYC?

I believe so. He led off the segment, said "Hi Guys", made an extremely nitpicky crap, which often times wasn't sports related, made some reference to Bonanza, cracked himself up, and ended with that sound effect.

His craps were kind of horrendous, but he seemed like a really sweet guy.

RIP

Thanks. I guess bad radio killed him.

RIP.

i met him at the b&b remote back in late 2011, and he was wearing the famous expos hat. he looked a lot like how i thought. the heavy mouth breathing was disturbing, but i usually actually liked his WYC contributions.

RIP.

Sad, sad shit. How I'm going to ever figure out mundane facts about bonanza on a weekly basis I'll never know.

WYC don bornstein? you dont mourn an athletes death, who clearly is a superior human compared to the callers you hate so fuckin much, but gary gives you a thousand blowjobs and you feel obligated to give a shit? #onelessdickfordannytofeast

What makes this even more tragic is that I do a great Gary in Evanston impersonation, and I never got a chance to use it. I thought that someday I could call in with a crap as Evan Stone in Gary, and do it in the Gary voice, but sadly, the world will now be deprived the honor.

I cant think of a better time to use it. Keep Gary alive in everyone's memory.

Didn't Gary once have his secretary call in to WYC because he wasn't able to do so himself?

RIP Gary.

If you call in ask Matty to do a tribute, I am sure he will get you on the air.

Of course then it really better be good.
