RIP brother.
We interacted over the years I've been here with likes and replies to each other's posts. He came across as a knowledgeable , level-headed guy with a sense of humor. RIP.

Rip Gil, you will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to the family.
Although we both lived in Ft Worth I never had the pleasure of meeting Gil in person. (Theres a lesson in there somewhere). His avatar guitar was called Mortimer. He says he “Nashvilled” it and modded it so often that the only original part left on it was the body. Very nice guy. He would PM about mods he had made.
good bye buddy.

I’m pretty new here, don’t read the forum posts on the daily, and didn’t post much, yet @nojazzhere is one of the members that I immediately remember. In life there are those who make a lasting impression on you, so the fact that he was able to do that through an online guitar forum is really something to say the least.
I also can’t believe he only joined in 2017, because I could swear that he was in some of those old 2010 posts I’ve read— that tortoise red pickguard in his profile pic is so eyecatching!
I’m not the oldest guy on this forum, I’m still trying to figure stuff out, apparently I’m at the final stages of education now. But in terms of guitar, Nojazz helped, he helped sort things out for me in that aspect. This song has been in my head as of late, and now it seems like Nojazz really embodies it:
Thanks for the wisdom, knowledge and charisma @nojazzhere, rest in peace, yet also enjoy some of the greatest and loudest concerts there is— you deserve it ten fold.

@Kandinskyesque , thanks for alerting this to us, so we can all properly acknowledge him and give our respects. You said there should be a TDPRI comment on his obituary page, but also know that this thread is a great memorial for a great presence.
Thank you
Thank you
I was afraid of that. I sent him a message a week or so ago and heard nothing back.
I'll miss the guy for sure. RIP nojazzhere.

This is the only forum that I regularly participate on and while people dying in my life is starting to happen more frequently this is new to me. I found Informal’s quote above to be very insightful. RIP NJ
I always enjoyed what he posted. Seemed like an easy goin' good guy. Until it was mentioned here I didn't realize that he had gone "missing" even though I always read his posts. RIP.

He was one of the first to welcome me when I first joined. Always a gentleman. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Jeez, that's awful.
Terrible news. 72 is way too young. But how cool is that obit photo?! He's smiling ear to ear playing guitar. RIP, sir.

He seemed like a decent human being, and we don’t have enough of those in the world. I, too, enjoyed his posts. RIP.

The average lifespan took the biggest nosedive in modern history in the USA in 2020 and 2021. 2022 will likely be the same. I will turn 72 in two weeks. I have lived longer than my father and both of my grandfathers. I lost friends in high school….both natural and unnatural deaths.
Some never get to walk. Life does not guarantee anything except the moment in which we are. Embrace life….
Old ‘hippy’ song…..The writer of this song…Chet Powers…was also known as Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service. He passed at the age of 57. This one song made his visit here on this plane worthwhile, imho.

Yes very sad indeed he was a very nice guy! i remember we talked about our liking for rock and jazz fusion when i see his user name. RIP my friend!!
Just read his obituary and while I'm sure his grandson is totally heartbroken it sounds like he will have a lifetime of precious memories of him with his Grandfather.
