in memoriam

11/20/20: I typed a thread in the 1961/66 forum inre to the following, then realized not all of you visit this forum.

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

Family from back east arrived Thursday, paid their last respects, Dave removed from life support.

Dave was a master fabricator and mechanic, an all around great guy. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear Bill. Did not know him myself, but sounds like you knew him pretty well.
I do know a Mark though, from Conejo Valley goes by the handle Garberz on another forum. Seems close enough they might be related?

My condolences to his family and his friends. I have seen his posts, and he was indeed a master fabricator. He will be missed by many on the 61-66 Forum. Thanks for letting us know NumberDummy.

I believe he is the gentleman that you've told me in the past that he lives here in the valley. Sad, I never got to meet him.
