RIP GypoLogger

Gypo was one of the original good old boys. He was on Arborist.com and the tool shed forums before AS came online.

Years ago he and I were talking on the phone and he needed a part for project, so I sent it to him. A couple weeks after he got it, he
wanted to return the favor. I said "surprise me". He said "whaddya like?" I said " send something artsy, maybe some folk art or something".

He sent me this cool vintage hand-painted First-Nations thing - "Legend of the Eagle". Whoever made it was quite talented.

That's how Gypo's brain worked - he was intelligent and eclectic and just a fine man.
 
I chatted with him a few times on the phone over the years - was just in general a nice guy

We shared a lot of laughs about the typical drama over the years - he was a fan of my craziness and constant shit posting

I remember him on Arborist dot com - even back then he was rather well known and ‘a man of the people’ in his own regard
