Sad to report a great loss to the chip community

With a heavy heart I report to you the passing of my long time friend and chip collector extraordinaire Gary Johnson. A man of many great talents and great wisdom, Gary was the consummate collector. I can't even begin to reminisce all the stories I have from 20+ years of friendship and collecting but we shared the same passion for Colorado gaming history. Not only did he have a passion for the hobby like no-other, to the point of turning every square inch of his beautiful Denver home into a museum to display his incredible collection but was also a kind, generous and the most spiritually enlightened man you'd ever want to meet. You will be dearly missed my friend!!!!!

A pic of Gary back in the day and the chip Bronco Billy's made to honor "Colorado's most notorious chip collector" in 2002 that features his home/museum on the reverse.

And a picture of Gary and I at my place here in Central City in Jan of 2018. I think we were trading dice and Colorado casino ephemera!
