Damn he was from my hometown too. Seemed like an awesome guy. RIP, soldier.

Wow. This really came as sad news. :(

As chance would have it, I was working on an art preservation project where a part of it was trying to highlight the work of the actors, including Gary Klahr.

Anyways, for fun I had done a fanedit of a scene he was in months ago. It was my tribute to this asskicking undead killing machine. I always thought he stole the show in "Day of the Dead". IMHO.

In any case, for what it is worth, please enjoy my tribute of him here:

FYI- Since I'm in-touch with Klahr's family (since the original plan was to work with Mr.Klahr in some sense, and I've been in touch with them on and off for months) I would ask that if you do NOT like what I've done here then please do NOT leave any negative remarks here OR on the youtube clip that I did, out for respect for Klahr's family who are grieving this loss. IF I suddenly see a dozen downvotes, then I think that would be a mean thing to do since I had personally sent a link of this video to Mr.Klahr months ago. His family and friends may occasionally visit this video, and I don't want them to feel trolled, etc.

This death was completely unexpected, and, was heartbreaking to say the least.

P.S. Incidentally, I couldn't find details on the cause of death in the news but I saw it was listed here. I'm not sure if that is appropriate, so whoever wrote that might want to consider removing that detail out of respect for the privacy of Mr.Klahr's family.

Take care guys!

This is awesome! Are you with the GAR? I'm a Pittsburgh guy myself and try to support it every chance I get.

Thank you! I wish I could give you more info on my clandestine presence here ;) haha...I guess it wouldn't be lying to say I'm not officially with the GAR. But obviously I'm connected in some sense to the community fostering that foundation.

And as for Mr. Klahr (as Klar, in DOD) I feel like he deserved a better tribute than he's been getting. He's feels a little forgotten with everything going on. Yet, Steele is one of the best characters from ALL of Romero's films IMHO. So there you have it. My little shout out.

Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers

I've been out of the loop lately and just now found out about his passing. This one hits hard.

RIP Mr. Klar

Just heard the news today, sad to saw the least. Last time I saw him was Weekend of the Dead in Manchester. He was a great guy and we talked quite a bit there.

I randomly started using the "biggest piece of meat in the cave" as an inside joke late last year. Seems like I may have been channeling some of Steel this whole time. Sad to hear I never got to meet him, but I hope he knew how many enjoyed his work. :(
