Well, this is just a quick, get the facts straight post !!! Gary was in So Cal last weekend, He had driven in to pick up a 66 sedan thats been parked for many many years. The plan was to tow it home to Texas and restore it to his liking for a gift for his grandson. His grandson is only 3, so Gary would have 13 years to do it to perfection. However, he took ill suddenly & was in the hospital. He took a turn for the worse and had liver & kidney failure. Fortunately, his wife Becky was able to fly in & be by his side before he passed. Most of you know him as SHUBEE, but I knew him as Gary Shubrook. I will always consider him my homeboy, we spent lots of time together from 1971 to 1988 when we went different ways. Through the lounge we were able to re-connect, & he was the driving force to getting my car running again. He is a legendary VW man & will be missed !! R.I.P. SHUBEE -- DO ALL VW's IN HEAVEN HAVE 48 IDA'S ??  Ron |

Very sad news. Shubee was very helpful sorting out a stubborn issue with my 42 dcnf's a few years back, even calling later to see if they were performing better. We shared the same enthusiasm for VW's and 2nd gen Nova's. His LOL's, LMAO's and ROTF's will be missed.

WTH is going on here? It seems like I`m reading a couple of these posts every week lately. This news totally comes out of nowhere. Even though we had never met. we had exchanged PM`s here a few times. We seemed to have some common interests on here. Really sorry to hear this.

Ron you speak the truth. Gary was definately Legendary! He will be missed. Gary had his opinions and moments but I am surely sad to see him go. When I would notice that he had posted I would almost always go to see what he had written first. He was helpful controversial and at most entertaining. He had a good eye for what works. He's swimming in BRM,s right now.

Very sad news. We have lost an iconic member of the California Look community. He was one of the original collectors of EMPI parts long before many people saw value in them. I pray for comfort for his family. RIP Gary

I never got to really know Gary that well. I talked to him at the Fort Worth Texas show last year, and out here a few times. What bothers me is that Gary is one of us. Our age, our passion, our same VW DNA. It's not suppose to turn out that way when you drive a fast VW. I think about his collection of VW parts and cool cars, his work shop, his dreams of how he planned to spend the next years of his life with his family. I do know, he is now in a better place.

Very sad news, didn't know him personnaly, but was telling Ron (hecker) how my photo of his vert shows up now and then at bugs for breakfast, and how I thought it was the best looking vert I had seen up to that point, and one of the top ones still. forgot he was into 2nd gen nova's also.
RIP Shubee.

Gary...The Shuuuuu.... man, did he know numbers and a plethora of other things as well.... Ive noticed a lot of euro people on here/he did make an impression wherever he went thats for sure...FYI..>>for those of you that didnt really know Gary or his talents//Scott Bakken worked a deal out for me with ron barrett years back for some stored cal look cars and some parts to include some brm's. The best car I have ever bought/appreciated and later sold was in fact Gary's BEAUTIFUL blue oval window with built trans/a monster 48 equipped beast/vdo/plaid int/brm's,etc....which showed his talents at building and assembling with meticulous fashion and attention to detail, an awesome daily driver that drove like grandmothers car until you pressed the pedal...SHIT or HOLD ON...I had lots of fun driving that car and can say it was one of the very best vw's ever amongst my many. R.I.P. dude//Dyno Don ps,texas tom..you were a good friend to gary...

Never met Gary personally, but have PM each other on different topics, his latest was that he was coming down for the 66' bug and had offered to buy my front end from my bug. This man will be missed by ALL of us here and abroad. My condolences and prayers to the family.
RIP Gary (Shubee) will miss you.

This is Garys wife... Yes shocked, tearful and missing him already. I was told about all the post and joined so I could see the post from friends and associates. He had some chronic condition but not a terminal. He has lymphademia and Neuropathy but he didnt let that keep him down. He left two weeks ago to come to calif to pick up a VW bug from a nephew and it was to be Our grandsons first "Project" and his first Car when he tured 16 years old. Cadan presently is only 3 yrs old but shares his passion for Cars and especially VW Bugs with his Peepaw (gary). I do plan on continuing his dream and by the time Cadan is 16 he will recieve a gift of a Shubee Quality VW bug and it will be from his Peepaw.....that he loves so much. We are all shocked, crying and very emotional. His Illness that brought his life to a end was Sudden (3days) and Snowballed (bowel obstruction followed by Liver and kidney failure). Gary fought hard to stay on this earth with his family and friends but it was his time to join the good lord above. he He will be always remembered.....always loved and always Missed by all. Please if you have any pictures please sent them to me at rsshubrook@gmail.com we are preparing a slide show for his memorial service which the dates will be announced. Thank you again, Becky Shubrook |

I never met Gary, but we did speak via email and PM on a few occasions.
He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on cal look, he even got me a custom set of centre caps for my torquers made to resemble the originals.
He will be missed by all who knew him and even those who never had chance too.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends.
Brad
