Gazza - sad news
It's many months since I visited this site and it's with a heavy heart that I have to let you know that Gary Meekings aka Gazza sadly passed away last night after succumbing to the Covid 19 virus. I'd known him for many years and not only was he a car nut par excellence he was also a super guy to spend time with. RIP Gary

Sad indeed! I did not know him personally, but feel I knew him through the forum
Re: Gazza - sad news
Shocking news and so sad. I met him several times over the last 10+ years. A great guy, and huge contributor to the zed community. RIP Gary.

So sad. Such a generous and happy person who could reduce one to fits of laughter with his corny sense of humour. We will all miss him so much.
Rest in Peace Gary xxx

I only knew Gary as a moderator of, and contributor to, this forum but his willingness to help myself and countless others with advice wherever possible was always very much appreciated.
Condolences to family and friends.

Sad news indeed
I never got to meet him in person but I felt a genuine love for the car and a real desire to help whenever I needed sound advice.

Re: Gazza - sad news
Still in shock over Gary's death. Top bloke and a good friend to me. This site and the Zed community owe him so much.
I will remember him every time I turn the key in Hamish.
Rest in peace, Gazza.
