Just In Case...
Anybody heard from Gary Phillips lately? I know he's had a rough go of it recently. I finally found his post in Events and Announcements regarding his taking some time off from building, etc. I've been waiting for a while now on a case he was gonna build me and I haven't heard back from him for several weeks. His email address is bouncing and his website is down. I just left him a voicemail but wondering if anyone knows if he's doing ok?

I think we have been had!!! I ordered and paid in full last December 9,th for a 4 place Rack Case and 2 speaker Cabinets. He said I would receive them by January 15th 2005. I received the Rack Case in June and still have not received the speaker Cabinets. He owes me $ 325.00 and want answer calls or any communications. I am just about to file charges on him in small claims court.

As I understand it, Gary still has a phone, but he's not answered calls from some customers. I'm not sure if he still has the 'Net, but if he does, he's reading this.
Gary, you're my friend. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!! Do not steal these guys' money, no matter what hardships you're going through personally. At least, post an apology. You OWE these guys you took money from, dude!

Hi Guys..I feel sorry for what you are going thru...Gary is a friend of mine and he is presently staying at my home working and earning his way out of this mess...His Dads illness had really set him back from the end of last year and now to his death...Gary is slowly getting back on top of things both finacialy and mentaly..He just sent Erv his rack case and he is now going to complete the rest of the orders..
He is working and willing to either fill the orders or refund your money...He is totally stressed out when he came here and I am trying to get him back on track..I am one Christian steel player helping another one.
I am real sure that nobody will get hurt on these orders...He is so embarrased about this situation and didn't know what to say anymore...I am writting this letter to my fellow steel players...Please lets give him a chance to make good....Gary also assured me that he will build you an additional free case for your troubles...if this will make you feel better... Please call him with a little sympathy he is a fellow steel player wanting to make good...
His Cell number is (740)605-7538
Thank You
God Bless

Guys,
I just talked to Gary and it's clear that he wants to make things right with everybody. I'm happy to hear he's doing better and his luck is turning around. Jim Marconi, you are a great friend for helping him through this difficult time. I know some guys are upset with Gary right now, but don't worry he will take care of you.

(dupe of my pos in Steel Players thread begun by Byron Walcher):
I spoke with Gary today (Aug. 17), and would like to update everyone having business deals with him.
Gary will come through on any merchandise ordered, he asked me to pass that promise on to you, and I believe him. He has temporarily relocated to a friend's home in Illinois, more to clear his head than anything, and has his tools and will continue production.
Gary is a warm Christian man who is overwhelmed and overstressed through a trying series of life events the past couple of years. 2 years ago his brother died. Last year his marriage ended. A couple of months ago his Dad died. He's been on a tough ride, his faith is strong, but he's really feeling challenged by life and the Lord.
Please just have a little more patience for a good guy trying to get his feet back on the ground, and keep him in your prayers.

Fellow Forumites, we pray for each other for alot of different reasons. That is one of the reasons I joined this forum. One of our brothers has surely had more than his share of troubles recently. That is not to excuse him for being slow to complete his responsibilities. But before we hang him up, could we please remember Gary in our prayers? Would'nt y'all appreciate a little extra patience and love if you were in that spot. Life is hard enough when your world isn't crashing down around you. Just a thought.

I just recently called Gary and left a message for him to call me. Gary did return my call and we had a very nice conversation. He promised me that he would refund my money back. I have faith in the Lord and I also have faith in Gary. I think he will rebound and be stronger than ever.
You are remembered in my prayers:

Hey all,
Just wanted to update everybody I spoke to Gary again last week and he seems to be getting along better these days. If anyone is looking for a nice D-10 Rains, I think that's the one he has up on the block. Anyway, hoping to have things settled with Gary soon and back to business as usual with Just in Case.

Gary is a good guy, very genuine. I've done business with him and he makes a good product. As with any one-man business, sometimes things get in the way of the *assembly line* and we customers just have to have trust and patience.
He's had a very rough couple of years, but I believe no one ultimately has anything to worry about his delivering a product that was ordered. Many of us have walked miles in shoes similar to his, remember y'all?
