This is Gary's daughter posting. I wanted to let you all know that he passed away this last weekend. I know that he corresponded with many of you in this forum. Thank you for your involvement in his life.

Sincere condolences to Gary's family. So very sorry for your loss. I dealt with Gary on several occasions and always had nothing but positive experiences with him. He was a gentleman and professional when selling his bushings and dampners and always went the extra mile in customer satisfaction with me. He provided a valuable service to the VRCC community and will be missed.

I am so sorry I cant believe hes not there. Please how did this happen if you dont mind me asking. He will be remembered because there is a little part of his ideas in quite a few bikes mine included. Its part of his legacy a true engineer.
