I served with Garry in the Marines. It is always hard to hear when a fellow marine passes, but I believe there is a special place for them. My prayers go out to the family. We are all brothers.

To the Collier family...I was shocked and saddened to hear of Garry's passing. I always thought of him as a great teammate in baseball and he was a fierce friend off the field. He and I used to fish together years ago, but I had not seen him in several years. I am so sorry that life had gotten him down and truly wish him peace and God's Grace in the hereafter. He and his family will be in my family's prayers.
