Iam sorry to hear that.
Gary was a good friend for many years and a great guy.
He was always willing to help anyone and everyone at any time.
Gary also designed and made the updated boards for the trams as well as being only one of two people that I know of that had a Factory TRAM Board Tester in the US.
His knowledge of the Tram and Browing Radios was unsurpassed.
Gary will be sadly missed in the radio world and Shirley and I wish his family the very best.

Scott,
Gary was a good friend and his son Gary Jr is also a wonderful person from the talks we had the last time Gary Sr was in the hospital.
I wish we would be able to attend but sadly we can't.
Gary will always be remembered for everything he has done over the years and all of his time that he has dedicated to help others over the years.
The radio World has lost a great man and a great friend.
And he will be sadly missed by many, but he will always be remembered.
Gary and his entire family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
And his friends will remember Gary as a very special person and the one and only “TramTech” .
Thank You, Scott!
Lon & Shirley
