RIP gary, he was only 71. Always wanted to interview him, should have taken the chance :( https://www.smh.com.au/national/jaycar-founder-gary-johnston-dies-after-a-short-illness-20210311-p579x3.html |

Here is Karl's interview with him: |

According to the news article he was only diagnosed with mesothelioma two weeks ago. Now, that is a short illness. I have been exposed to asbestos a few times in my electronics career. The most dangerous was at Siemens in Richmond, Melbourne where the asbestos fibre was literally falling from the ceiling onto office workers. |

Great interview. He is incredibly generous with his insights on the factors that contribute to his business success. The stories about parts scavenging, first discovering radio are great too. |
| Brumby:
I heard of his passing on the news last night. I was stunned. |
