Is there a problem with his health? I have done business with him and have always been impressed by his knowledge/service. :yesnod:

:blueangel: :( I went up over Thanksgiving and visited with Gary. I've done business with him many times and believe me he is as fine a guy as you could ever meet. He took great pride in showing pictures of his wife with her Corvette and horses from several years ago. She was a lovely lady.

Gary, if you happen to read this thread just know that our hearts go out to you and your daughter. God bless you in this trying time and take comfort in the knowlege that her battle and her pain is over. If there is anything that I can do please don't hesitate to call. You have my number.

Dave

I ordered some rubber body mounts to convert from my solid ones on my 69. I understand the rubber mounts were different for the two middle positions on the convertibles. He researched the subject with the manufacturers and called me twice to answer my questions. And, he said if I wasn't happy, he would arrange for return shipping, no questions asked. I have never been more impressed with someones customer satisfaction. Gary, God bless you. :blueangel:

Man I hate to hear that, it seems like bad stuff always happens to the nicest people. Gary is a prince and a true friend to all of us Corvette owners. God Bless him and his family. :blueangel:

Gary had told me his wife had cancer, and I knew there were a lot of complications in recent months. I am very deeply sorry for Gary's loss, couldn't happen to a better person. Rest in peace, and God bless. :blueangel:

I spoke with Gary Dale on the 5th and he had just put her into a hospice. I wished him the strength he would need to deal with the future at that time. I did not realize it would come quickly.

God bless him and give the strength he will need.
