Just saw this on QTH.COM, sad news indeed for the VHF community. Gary was one of my first WSJT QSOs on both 6m and 2m:
Gary Gompf passed away on Thursday January 22 as a result of a heart attack as he was driving from Batlesville, OK to Texas. He was the original owner of W7FG VINTAGE MANUALS for many years. Gary will be missed by his many friends.
