RIP Gary Kato

I was saddened to hear recently of the loss of another long-time member of our community. Gary’s sister informed me of his passing in November of last year. Gary was an incredibly generous supporter of KitMaker for many years now and it’s only through the kind actions and deeds of members like him that this community is still up and running.

Somehow posting a “Like” doesn’t seem appropriate, that is sad news indeed. I didn’t know him personally but know his name very well, right back to when I joined Armorama over 10 years ago. Could someone provide a fitting eulogy/description of his contributions here? Condolences to his loved ones.

Truly sad news. I’ve seen his posts ever since I arrived in the forums over a decade and a half ago, and wondered why I hadn’t seen him posting recently. Let me add my condolences to his family.
