in memoriam

garbz2 - Dave Garber suffered a stroke last Monday, was taken to the hospital, he wasn't responding to treatment, was placed on life support.

His relatives from back east arrived on Thursday, paid their last respects, Dave was removed from life support.

Dave was a master fabricator and mechanic, he will be missed by all.

I had the pleasure of meeting him and doing business a few times. He was always upbeat and full of good humor. I don't think anyone could have anything against the man. He was a good guy down to the core.

He is definitely one of the core guys that helped me a ton when I first got my '65 over ten years ago. It's kind of cool to know his posts and knowledge will remain and continue to help others. He will be missed.

My condolences to the family and everyone close to him. Unfortunately I never got to know Dave personally, only from the FTE forum and FB. It was always nice to read his posts. R.I.P. Dave. Sad greetings from Germany.
