[WARC] Gary Kohner N0OWS - SK

[rmarsole at hbci.com]

   I have known Gary and his family for a long time (almost 50  
years!). The entire Kohner family use to come over  to visit or play  
at our farm in Bluff Siding from time-to-time when I was a kid. In  
fact Gary's one brother Greg and I graduated from HS together as well  
so there were many sleep-overs at either their dark brown brick home  
or at our farm.

   Gary and his siblings came from a very good family (anyone remember  
the Alvin Kohner Auctioneer company?). A nicer family could hardly be  
found.

    

   Gary, who could be easily discribed as a "gentle giant" will  
certainly be missed by everyone that knew him.

    

   73's Gary.
