I was just thinking about him today. Thank you for posting this.

I owned one but foolishly let it go a few years ago. Sad that he died so damn young.

Hey - What a cool story. How many guitars did Gary make and where are they now? I am starting Luthier school in January (6 month program) and want to start networking with folks around the country. Tell me about your own work, and any tips for someone starting a 2nd career after 20 years in an office! Thanks!

I had the high honor of working with and learning from Gary for a couple years, he was a major influence on me. It deeply saddens me that he is gone. He is missed very much. On a lighter note, I had Coop's couch and chair up until last year, moved with me all the way form Sac up to Seattle. It was a legendary couch because it connected me to a lot of history through Gary. If anyone has questions or wants to share anything about Coop' please feel free to send me a message!

Gary is gone, but his guitars and spirit is still with us
