Saw this at JD Young's site.

TOM was a standard of the PAW fiction genre.

I posted this on the main, but there are some readers that don't go there much.

Gary was in poor health these last few years. His writings started off a lot of survivalists.

He will be missed.

Bet he n fleataxi are having a drink and looking down on jerry and laughing at all us.

Bye TOM

His stories were a major part of my introduction to survivalist fiction. He will be missed. RIP, Gary. Godspeed.

I always wanted to meet him in person.

Way back in my family tree we have Otts.

I imagined going to a TBK gathering and walking up to a fella that looked a lot like me.

We'd sit and chat and talk of family, work, writing, being good guides for the younger one's.

He would introduce his beloved wife and she and I would hit it off real quick.

Maybe one day we will meet in the time after this.

As I re-read his stories I am blessed.

sorry I missed this earlier. I'll miss TOM as well. He was my first introduction to prepper fiction. He had a fun imagination and was an easy read. RIP Gary. You well deserve your rest.
