Mr. Gale,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during the Vietnam and Cold Wars. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Marty, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. May you find peace and comfort in the many wonderful memories both you and Rick have shared over the years. May his guardian angel be forever with you to see you through the dark days and lonely nights.
Sincerely,
