That's sad news. I included his obituary below. I have a spare radio for my car and always intended on having him do the conversion on it, guess I waited too long.
Thompson, Gregory
Age 71 of White Bear Lake
Died suddenly surrounded by his wife and children on October 23, 2021.
Greg is preceded in death by his father, Thomas A. Thompson; mother, Jean LaVonne Thompson; mother-in-law (Doris), and father-in-law (Orville).

Greg was born and raised in Minneapolis and graduated from Brown Institute. He started his career at Shaak Electronics then moved onto Dayton Hudson Corp and Target for 20+ years. Then he purchased S&M Electro-Tech where he enjoyed talking about radios, vintage cars, and speakers with all of his customers. Outside the working world, Greg was an active volunteer in Boy Scouts and church committees. He enjoyed spending time at the cabin, fishing, hunting and woodworking.
