About 1953 Gaylor bought a motorcycle. What he thought was 45 CI turned out to be a 74 with almost no miles, we towed it home with a rope and Gaylor had it polished up and running the next day, he rode it every day from then on. In 1976 I flew to Milwaukee from Seattle to buy a new 1200 cc (74CI) bicentennial liberty edition, on my way to Seattle I stopped in grand forks at his and Marcy's studio and let him take it for a ride, he followed me to Mayville on his 1000cc Honda so I thought I would show him how a real motorcycle preformed, I opened it up while Gaylor was falling behind, as I looked down at the speedometer I was doing 125 when Gaylor passed me up like I was standing still, I never let anyone ride that motorcycle except Gaylor and my nephew, I always looked for Gaylor when I returned to Mayville and sometimes he would be there, He was a good friend thru High school and since.

I was so very sad to get the news of Gaylor's passing. Such a kind and caring man and his devotion to Marcy, the girls and grandchildren was a beautiful thing. May light perpetual shine on him, and may be rest in peace and rise in glory.

Dear Marcy and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Gaylor was a fine man and we will remember him fondly. We appreciate all of the photos he took of our family; They continue to hang on our walls today. One thing I will always remember about Gaylor is how he treated his precious wife Marcy with such love and honor and respect. He was the husband we should all strive to be. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God's peace be with you. Todd

It promises that your loved one will soon come back to life in the resurrection to a peaceful paradise on the earth. (John 5:28, 29) Sincerely, S. Ellis
