I am very sad to report that Shockbushing Gary passed away last weekend. I had sent him a message about a set of dampers a couple of weeks ago, and got a reply back from his daughter yesterday informing me of his passing, no mention of how or why. I know what a friend he was to the members here, and felt that this had to be shared. Let's keep his family in our prayers.

I am very sorry to learn of his passing. I never had the honor of meeting him in person but have talked to him before and used both of his  products for the valk. Our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Shocking!  Even though I never met Gary, his numerous postings through the years were always informative and useful.

He'll be missed.

very, very sad. He was a great guy and had a very nice custom valkyrie, that he did himself, esp. the custom gas tank he made with the illusion paint.
have his bushings and dampers also.

Your family are in my prayers for your peace and understanding of God's direction.
