Ryan, All I can afford right now is moral support and prayers. IF I had a job right now I'd contribute; but I'm on the street looking for a job. This is a terrible loss. If he need the paint booth ventilation designed, I can do that when he is ready to rebuild.
I am going to send Gary a couple of hundred bucks worth of Compounds and Glaze and some body shop supplies, Ryan where should I send it?
That's a sad story on a friday afternoon. Hope you get lots of cash, sent some english pounds from across the ditch
I have no cash to send but I just posted a thread for a banner auction...bid early and bid often guys.
We're going to contribute. In the recent past i have had many great conversations with Gary, was saddened to find out he couldn't make the GNRS at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances , and now this. When it rains - it pours. Our thoughts are with you Gary.
Will certainly help. And like Blake, if y'all can use my labor in any way, wanna have a little barn-raising or something, let us know, we'll help with that, too.
Donation sent. Don't know the guy, but if the boss says he's a a good guy, he's a good guy. Love the sense of community here. Hope he gets back on his feet in no time.
Man, this touches me too. I had no doubt that the Texas boys would figure a way to right this loss, but to see all of this support from all over reminds me that there is a ton of good in this world. Thanks guys - Gary is family.
From one painter to another. Done. Fire's my biggest fear. If Gary needs anything else besides $$$(tools, supplies, equipment), say so.
I sent Ryan a PM this morning and I'm doing a couple of auctions to help with the fund raising for Mr. Howard. HRP
Ryan Ill have some stuff up for auction tonite. Gary if BenD is coming out soon I have a small compressor and some body tools ill send your way keep up the killer work. Paul
Not much, just 20 bones from one ex-pat Iowan to another. Good luck Gary and thanks for building such classy rolling art!
Like many have said, "wished I could have sent more". Two things I know, I will never miss the few bucks I paypaled to this cause. and nothing makes one feel better than helping another human being. Lakes are built one raindrop at a time. So if your thinking your couple of bucks won't help, youre wrong. I don't know Gary, but it doesn't matter. Paying it forward is always a good thing.
Ryan, I'd be willing to come lend a hand with the clean up or any other manual labor needed to get Gary up and going again, just let me know.
Wow, that is a disaster! Doubt my path will ever cross Gary's but you never know. Sent along 10 bucks Ryan. Hope it helps a bit to get him started and back in business. Walt
That sucks. Gary has such a clean, unique style that I feel kinda represents Texas in a way. BTT for Gary and moolah sent.
I don't know Gary personally but I love his work and hope he is able to get things back up and running ASAP. Money Sent.
Just sent over ten smackeroos..its not much. With it is a prayer to get things up and running quickly..
I don't know Gary either but I do know that Ryan does a lot for us and doesn't ask for much, and today he is asking. Paypal sent. And Doc? Wow, class act, man.
