Garin was a truly lovely man - kind, generous with his time, and deeply passionate about casino chip collecting. He helped many of us build our collections, myself included, and made a lasting impact on the hobby. Over the years, he uncovered countless UK and London casino chips that were previously undocumented.

He also worked at pretty much every casino in London during his lifetime, and his experience and stories made him a valued member of this community. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
