Ron Garey Has Passed

Another sad day here, and another friend gone.

Jim C will tell...When Ron Garey talked , you had to listen.
Truly a hands on guy, from another era, I hate to say.
If Ron needed a T350 , he built one, himself. If he needed Q-jet, he'd build one, and keep fiddling with it until it was perfect.
Ron was an entertaining guy too. Also , somewhat of a philosopher . What he said about NHRA, 25 years ago, is coming true, to this day.
It's probably been said about them breaking the mold after this guy, but never more true .
RIP, my friend..You earned it.
