The Apple world is just not the same without Gary. I religiously read his site, because I thought it was just *so cool* that someone was nerding out on something as seemingly banal as a computer store.

Michael, your work is just as detailed, as loving as Gary's — I hope you feel as the new torchbearer in this new age of Apple Retail.

I think Gary was in a league of his own, so I don't try to emulate him, but I do give it my best effort to document Apple Retail history today for the community.

Gary was the best. We often corresponded when I would send him updates on the Tampa, Florida store. My own interest in Apple Stores was largely thanks to his site. It inspired me to make a point of visiting Apple Stores whenever I traveled. And yes, often my travel itinerary was based on where Apple Stores were located at the time. Thank you for remembering him and his contributions with your post today.

Great story! I was such an avid reader of Gary's site and was truly saddened when I got notice of him passing. Thanks for filling his shoes with your Apple Store newsletter!
