My deepest condolences to Patty, the family & friends of Gary. I met Gary back in 1989 when I first moved to Ohio, where he was set up at a motorcycle swapmeet, selling Triumph parts that I needed for a 73 - 500. I think it was the Ohio Valley BSA meet at Cable's Campground. Over the last 17 years, he'd been a good source & a fountain of information for many of my projects. I believe that it was last August at the CBMC's Miamitown meet that I last saw Gary, set up selling with Patty. He was a one of a kind type of guy. Always helpful, quick wit, with a great sense of humor, known for his knowledge of his motorcycles, fair mindedness & a straight shooter. Gary will be missed by all of his friends, customers & fellow enthusiasts.
