Gary Johnson, owner of RECO DEFENSE passed on...

Unread post by mike_v » February 7th, 2021, 3:22 am

All,

I learned recently of Gary passing on from his wife Janie.

He and I were the same age (62) and fought a hard, but short battle with cancer...

He was a "master" on military communications - especially the RT-524 and MT-1029 series of radios plus intercoms and related systems.

I posted this info on Steel Soldiers and one member who knows military radios "may" buy the business, so maybe Gary's legacy will live on as he had no children to pass it on to and no radio techs. worked there (Gary did it all by himself).
