Don, thanks for bringing up this gifted beautiful man. I had the pleasure of growing up with him as a great family friend. He was the guy who persuaded Big to get us flying stunt. He also had one of the best "3d" minds I've ever known. His inner vision as in perspective was uncanny. I watched him build a 180 deg curved tressel bridge for his n gauge railroad. He didn't have as much as a sketch to look at while he cut and glued and "looked" into the space he was working in. He knew the radius he needed to build to and just sat there with a pile of spruce and some glue and didn't stop till it was ready to paint. It was and still is breathtaking to me. I miss him very much. He was an older brother that always had time for me.

Gunny sure had some nice stuff, as did Don Bambrick, who also passed away young. 

Gunny even dolled up his Voodoos.  It was a bad day at Blackrock when Gunny destroyed both of his Sharks practicing at the 1970 Nats.
