Default Gary Gruhala

I just got an email from Gary. He said if he's been a little slow this week forgive him...his father passed away and he hasn't been getting a lot of work done. Sure hate to hear that ...Gary is a great guy to deal with. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Seems like the best people get the heaviest burdens, and he is sure getting a load.

I concur. There is a saying that God only gives people what they can handle.

Gary is a fine person. Been dealing with him for several years. He once refused to ship me parts because they would not be up to the quality "he" expected for my 1979. What a jewel - what integrity. Just back from seeing my Mother (83) at the hospital to see this sad note. We Boomers face these circumstances and they are not pleasant. All the best to Gary and Family....
