Dear Readers,
This is Gary’s wife, Suzanne. I have some sad news to share. Gary passed away Sunday morning at the age of 73. Although he was not in good health, it was an unexpected shock. We will miss him terribly.
Gary loved writing this blog for you and hoped you enjoyed reading it. I know it would please him greatly if you were to still find some helpful knowledge in his 780+ existing posts.
I will be leaving the blog live for some time to come. At this point, I do not know if I will be adding to the posts, but I’m sure the existing posts will help you to save money, make money, and invest money.
Thank you.
Gosh… thanks for letting us know, Suzanne. Gary was great and will miss “seeing him” around online. Keeping y’all in in our prayers

It saddens me to read about Gary. He was always so kind and supportive. He shared the work of others and was a wonderful member of the community. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.

So very sorry for your loss. I especially appreciated Gary’s perspective as an older writer. His post about his forgotten retail pension finding him after several decades was such a great story. He wrote of you with great love. May his memory be a blessing.
Thank you so much, Heidi. It is appreciated. And yes, that story about the forgotten pension was a good one!
Suzanne, I am so sorry for your loss! What a loss for the personal finance community as well. Thinking of you and wishing you the best through this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. My name is Matthew Guerra and I was on the HOA board with Gary. I’m so saddened by his passing, we all are. He was such a nice person to me when I joined the board and he will be very missed. I didn’t know how else to contact you but if you need anything feel free to reach out.
Matthew, thank you so much. He enjoyed working on the HOA board with you. I appreciate your kind words.
My condolences for your loss. I will look back through the archives here. I have been noodling around about Finances, but always looking for more tips.
Thank you, Alan. I appreciate that.
I am so very sorry.
Thank you, Lizzy.
Suzanne – I’m so sorry for your loss, I’d only known Gary through the internet and blogging but he was always kind and generous to me in how he would share articles of mine and others. He will be missed.
Thank you, Jim, for your kind words.
I learned about Gary through J. Money. My sincere condolences to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace and rise in glory.
Kimberly, thank you for your sympathy.
Suzanne, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have been interested in saving money from a young age and while I never came across this particular website, I was pointed here by J$. It’s a different kind of loss losing someone that you interact with strictly online, so I appreciate you sharing this news with readers of this site.
Thank you, Andy. I know Gary would have wanted me to let his readers know.
Ive been a fan of Gary’s blog for quite some time. I really enjoyed his writing and his passion for helping people with financial stuff. Every time I would comment on his post’s he was always there for a great reply. I’m sad to hear of his passing. Godspeed to you.
Beau, thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words.
Oh wow, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Adam.
I’m sorry to hear this. I admired Gary’s passion for helping people with money and appreciated his kindness to share my articles from time to time.
Thank you so much, Matt.
I am sorry for your loss. Gary was a cheerleader for bloggers in the personal finance community, and his presence will be missed.
Thank you. I know the PF blogger community was very generous to us and I hope that you will continue to be generous with each other.
Dear Suzanne, I’m so very sorry to hear about your (and our) loss. I didn’t know Gary personally, but he was one of the best sharers of my posts and was a face I loved seeing online.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you, Wesley. I appreciate it.
I’m sorry to hear this. I met him a couple times at FinCon and it was always a great conversation. May he rest in peace.
Thank you so much, Lazy Man.
Very sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your loved ones.
Thank you, John.
Suzanne, my sincere condolences for your loss. Gary was always generous to others in sharing their content on Twitter and I featured him in my TGIF Friday posts. He will be missed.
Thank you, Dave. I appreciate it.
Suzanne,
I am sorry to read this. Gary was supportive when I first launched my blog (thecentsofmoney.com) three years ago. I am enjoy reading his thoughts.
Be well. My thoughts and prayers are for you.
Linda
Linda, thank you so much.
I’m sorry for you loss. I hope you keep the blog as a part of his legacy. It’s more of an asset than you may realize just yet. I’m happy to help and show you how to get started when you’re ready. I will visit and keep you in my prayers.
Thank you, Theresa. I really appreciate your offer to help.
Suzanne, As a tech dinosaur I never realized until recently that Gary was tweeting out some of my posts. He was selfless in promoting the work of others. When I figured out how to leave him a note a couple of weeks ago, I thanked him for his support. I then remembered I had met you both at Fincon 15 in Charlotte. I sat next to you both at a session. We three were the only Boomers in the room! I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you were a big reason for his success. My sympathies.
Thank you, Linda. I appreciate it.
