Gary Willson passed last night in Austin.

This from Pam. 

Good morning Mickey, I am heartbroken to tell you, Gary passed away yesterday evening, December 3rd. Gary’s brother Don and I said our goodbyes while he was peacefully resting. He had multi system failures and his heart stop beating. 
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Sad to hear this. I remember him not letting me feel like a stranger the first time I met him at Salado.

Sweet Gary with the big "green" hair!  BGE or St. Patrick's Day, either way Gary was a lot of fun. He will be missed.  2012 at the Salado Eggfest. Fun time and great memories.....RIP

Sad to hear. I never knew this member personally, but saw some good posts from him over time. His profile photo was very unique and always caught my attention.

This is such sad news. Gary was a wonderful friend and great chef. He and Pam were so generous in sharing their home, while Gary shared his expertise in cooking, especially Asian fare. I'll never forget the "Dumpling Making Class", and wok cooking on the BGE, at Pam and Gary's. What a fun day that was!! Gary will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear he passed. I always enjoyed our talks and especially his wit. I made sure I wondered by his table for good eats at Salado. The dude could cook. I appreciate you sharing the news.

RIP VI.  I read that post and my heart sank.  When I first got my egg, VI was very active on the forum, always put some much TLC into his posts . . . and super funny!  He was my fav.  Creative cooks and always took time to explain things.  I still make a few of his wok/asian recipes, his crab rangoons, etc.  RIP VI.
