I served with Gary on Beverly Reid. We stood many watches together in B3. He was a one of a kind friend and funny as Hell. Wonderful man and I think of him often.

Linda,Kristy, Karen and family I am deeply sorry for your loss , I am sending you all my love,thoughts and prayers. I have so many memories of Gary its hard to choose . I can see Gary hanging on to the pole like gymnast showing off his mad skills and muscles. As a little girl I was in awe. As an adult he took me to have Maryland crab legs and beer. He never lost his Boston accent...and that was impressive. My favorite memory is dancing with him at my wedding. I hold these memories close to my heart and will forever remember him hanging off the pole. Love Yackey
