So sorry to hear about this last ride my friend. Thanks for the many chats, taking care of my rides and our 40 + year friendship. You will be missed by so many. Your accomplishments are worthy of a book and movie.

Gov was a one of a kind character who added to the fabric of Centre County as only he could. God Bless, Roy M Love DC

RIP my friend!
