I should have sent this out.

Gary passed last Sunday 1 day after turning 67 years old.

Gary and I have been friends since our teenage years and been part of VHF contest together since late 1970s. I am glad that I got to visit with Gary at Shelby Hamfest just a few weeks ago.

visitation is Sunday 1 - 3 pm at Moody Funeral Home in Stuart VA with graveside service at 3pm.

I plan on attending.

73,

Roger,

Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend.

I believe I have worked him before.

Glad you got to see him recently.

67 is way too young.

Live life while we can and be thankful for every day.

73,

Alex Macklin
