RIP. What a shame. I have been there many times. I'm confident the family will carry on.

Sad. He was an interesting fellow. Met him at the Annapolis Sail Boat Show in 2018. He took time out to talk with visitors and search for a solution to their problem.

We will miss him.

May his family find peace.

So sorry to hear this. I really appreciated him. He was most helpful and was keen to serve his customers. I sensed that it was more than just a business with him, but that he had a passion for what he did and for helping others.

He has helped me with most of the rigging upgrades I have done to Papillon. He set me up with upgraded bearing balls, and track to rebuild my traveler and took great pains to make sure that my new traveler track had the holes perfect to match the existing. He also came up with a way to increase the purchase on the traveler car from 3:1 to 5" and add bearing sheaves to the organizers.
Such a great guy.

Definitely a loss. I've had a quite a few chat's with him when re-rigging my C-30 and he always struck me as knowing his stuff and a total stand-up guy. Garhauer has always been top-quality stuff.

8 bells, Guido. Sorry to hear of it.

Sad to Hear. He was always very pleasant to work with when thinking out my rigging upgrades. And many there were.
We cross paths with so many people in our lives. We should keep kindness and patience at the forefront.

A real loss. He was the epitome of customer service excellence. Couple that with an encyclopedia knowledge of boats and rigging....he's gonna be hard to replace. RIP Guido.

This COVID stuff is simply terrible.
