He was a joy to talk to -- and a very sly devil. He'd do this "Aw, shucks, I'm nothing beautiful" thing and invariably the audience would disagree. It was especially effective in small-ish groups of women and would provoke lots of pretty women to shower attention on him. He was a total character. I never saw anything but genuine giving and friendliness in the man. (OK, he could be quietly stubborn with clueless con runners but they earned his willful disobedience. *g*)

What impressed me the most, was his insisting to con goers that it would be his honor and privilege to talk to them if they saw him walking around. It was obvious he meant it.

I did have a thought... What is Gary Jones going to do? He can't mock "the old dog" story anymore... :|

I may be the only member of fandom who isn't overly impressed with Gary Jones. He has a few good stories and his Mickey Rooney impression was hysterical. I never much liked his Don Davis impression. Not only because I thought there was a twinge of mean-spiritedness to it but also because I thought it wasn't a very good likeness.

But then, I was a Don fangirl so I might have been a wee bit biased. :)

Sorry, I can't remember much about his Don comments except "the old dog" comment - I did remember flinching with his Kate Hepburn story.

He was one in a million, to be sure. He loved fans as much as we loved him. I'm still bummed. :(

I'm doing a memorial page for Don. Care to write up a tribute?

Big sad symbiote eyes.

ME?!? I don't think of myself as gifted with words but I'll do my best. :)

I'm sure you'll do just fine!
