USMCRECON Posted February 20, 2008 #51 Posted February 20, 2008 I've only been on the forum since last summer but I've come to know Gary, particularly in the EGA section, during those months. He was always there with helpful advice, suggestions, and invaluable information. I will miss him, not as much for the valuable source of information that he was, but for the person he was. To his family, I offer my heartfelt condolences on their tremendous loss. To Gary, I wish eternal fair winds and following seas. Semper fi and rest in peace, brother in arms; Bill
Mark M Posted February 20, 2008 #52 Posted February 20, 2008 My condolences to his family. He will be sorely missed.

Bank Vault Posted February 21, 2008 #63 Posted February 21, 2008 I never got to know him very well but in the talking I did to him he was a very good guy. His knowledge is unreplaceable. But I am a believer in the Lord, and I am happy that we were all privileged enough to expirence his knowledge.

bobgee Posted February 25, 2008 #71 Posted February 25, 2008 I just arrived home from the SOS. I learned of Gary's passing while I was there. I am in shock. During the last year I got to know Gary in the EGA forum and was so impressed with his knowledge of our Corps' insignia and his willingness to share about them and on all subjects. While we never met in person, I considered him a friend. The hobby has lost a fine man and a true "collector". My comdolences to Marla, Jeff and his family. Semper Fi, my friend. R.I.P. Bob
Proud Kraut Posted February 25, 2008 #72 Posted February 25, 2008 When I returned home today I found Gary's letter in the mail, sent off Feb., 12th. It was our first trade. I still can't belive it... Sorry, but what I want to say can I only express in my own language: Gary's Familie mein allerherzlichstes Beileid und meine aufrichtige Anteilnahme! Lars
Ricardo Posted March 1, 2008 #73 Posted March 1, 2008 I am in shock! I am back in vocation a 3 days a go and know nothing... I lost a great friend! So many times help me and many people.... RIP - I will pray for you mate!! Ricardo.
Gary Cain Posted March 2, 2008 #75 Posted March 2, 2008 This is incredibly sad news. Gary was one of the nicest folks I have ever dealt with and I learned a great deal from him. I will miss him............. Gary
