MG is at peace now after a long battle. I will miss you and the backyard cookouts by the pool. 42 years is a long time to have to say " Until we meet again". Miss you neighbor!##imported-begin##Jon Leiferman##imported-end##

I've known MG for well over 30 years. Since the first day I met him, he was always a true gentleman and helpful to everyone he came in contact with. He was a valuable asset to the Amateur Radio community, and WE will all miss him very much. Gene, K5GF##imported-begin##Gene Furry##imported-end##

I remember getting out of the US Navy in March 1965 with a ham radio license that was just over 1 year old. M.G. was one of the first amateur radio operators I spoke to and he had a very pleasant way of making strangers comfortable. He will be missed. C##imported-begin##Charlie Mazoch##imported-end##
