I first met Gary in the early 1970s when I took a road trip to his shop in Ridgefield Connecticut. Along with me, we’re three of my gun, loving buddies and we were on a pilgrimage to see the 16 gauge Parker invincible shotgun that he had possession of at that time. This was the gun that had come out of Paul Jaegers shop in Jenkintown Pennsylvania. it was quite a sight to see and somewhere, I still have a photograph of that gun that Gary was handing out to those who visited to see it. Over the ensuing decades, I would see Gary at various gun events like the Vintage cup or the Orvis events in New York. it was always fun to be in this company and my thoughts and prayers will be with him going forward. He’s a true icon in the world of fine guns.
