Gary Albach

It is with great sadness that the CVRS must report the passing of Gary Albach, aka ‘The Old Newbie’, on April 4, 2022.

Gary will be greatly missed by those that knew him as a friend and colleague, but especially by his wife and family.

Gary’s obituary can be viewed here, and an article celebrating his contributions as a CVRS author is in preparation for the Summer 2022 issue of Canadian Vintage Radios.
