Dang man. G was great, always enjoyed his posts and lame jokes . I remember him posting pics of his knees after surgery.
He will be missed, prayers for his family.

Re: Broken Pipe - GScott
This hurts. Several years ago, the wife and I spent a day driving around Napa Valley with Giles and his wife. We drank wine, and then Giles and I pissed off a bunch of liberals by smoking pipes on the patio at the Coppola Winery. Several of his pipes are in my rotation, and the man gifted me a barely-used tin of GLP Renaissance. There's still some left, which I'll smoke to his memory.
