Not sure what to say?

A loss for our country. I was fortunate to be a college student of his for four years, where he challenged me, and pushed me to not only learn, but be a better person. I fondly remember, as if it were yesterday, a one-on-one teaching session where we verbally sparred like boxers over aviation topics. While the kids at a private elite flying college can be obnoxious, idiotic, and arrogant... he treated all of us as his equal. A true gentleman. I remember him pausing in class,...

I´m a little late here, but just want to say what an incredibly positive influence Gardner and Lynn were on my life. I will never forget their kindness to this obnoxious teenager, and valuable and lasting lessons they taught me. Truly wonderful people. RIP

Garnder was a pre-flight classmate of mine and we played sports together in Pre-flight. I visited with him in Cubi Point during VN while I was on another carrier. I always enjoyed his company and sorry to hear of his passing. I live on a ranch in Oklahoma and will plant a tree in his name. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, 74014

Back in 1982, I was one of Gardner's Aviation Students at Daniel Webster College in New Hampshire. He was such a great teacher and human being ! I still think of him from time to time and am very sorry for your loss. He made a positive impact in my life and was someone I looked up to. I will continue to think of him with fond memories as he was truly one of a kind.

Gardner(Gardy) was a truly beautiful person, and will always be loved and missed by our family. Love and Light to Lynn, and all of Gardners family and friends.
