I just received news that Gar Travis has passed away after bravely battling a long-term illness.
He passed away this AM (November 22).
It was my honor to have been his friend for over 20 years. His wit, even through the battling of his illness, was refreshing. Everything I liked about Gar was, and that is why I think we got along so well.
My condolences to his family, other close friends, and those in the numismatic community.

He did not expect to go so soon.
He went by oldmoney1959 here. Only had two posts
I'm not sure everyone knew Gar's background and passions - apart from coins, he was a professional photographer. After he moved to California he would go to air shows all over this area (sometimes driving 6-8 hours) so he could take these amazing photos of classic planes from yesteryear. He would also attend other types of events like the Renaissance Faire in Southern California (where he was their official photographer). A lot of people (myself included) think they can take photos, but he had a gift. His photos were amazing. Here is a link to his personal website showing his photography.
