Title: Gary Davis passed early this morning
Post by: Pat B on September 23, 2021, 06:53:24 AM

We got this news from Matt Wirwicki this morning. RIP Gary.
It is with great difficulty and a heavy heart to provide the news that Gary passed away this morning at 1:00.  Gary's contributions to the selfbow community were endless.  Everyone of us here have benefited in some way from Gary's influence and passion for the selfbow.  Since early Spring, he's had a tough and sudden decline.  He's now in a better place.

Sorry to see this.  He was one of the first sights I saw at my first Great Lakes Longbow Invitational in Marshall, MI back in the late 80’s.  I stood there for quite some time as he was showing his audience how to apply sinew backing to a bow.  Rest In Peace sir.

How disheartening....Gary continuously delivered his special gifts of love to us all.

It seems like only yesterday that he and I shared a most memorable lunch at Twin Oaks.

May God be with him and his family.

Gary was one of those special people and especially to the selfbow crowd. I can see him now, standing by his work bench at Twin Oaks with a Dr Pepper in his hand, talking and talking and talking with a bunch of us until the wee hour in the morning. He will surely be missed by many friends, family and selfbow enthusiasts.
See you around the campfire, my friend. RIP
