Not sure what to say?

My fondest memories of Gary were at Blytheville where he was a stan eval copilot and I was on the same crew as a Nav He would put himself on any flight for time and spent many hours in the bunk waiting for his time in the seat. Thus his nickname "Bunky". He was one of my favorite people and had what it took to aspire to and make 07 rank and above. I miss ole bunky.

Carolyn, I just saw that Gary passed away recently. I just looked him up for you both were in my thoughts Sunday at mass. Please know that Larry and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. God bless and keep Gary and you all in His loving arms.

Carolyn

Our sincere condolences go out to you and your family on Gary's passing. I remember him as a talented pilot at Blytheville and and was not surprised at his rise to general officer. Tina and I enjoyed our short time together in Hooterville with you guys and happy our paths crossed again in DC. Our best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time.

Carolyn- I just learned of Gary's passing. I was his first gunner on his crew at Blytheville back in 75. He was a great leader and counselor to a young airman. My prayers are with you and your family.

Carolyn, My condolences in your loss. I just heard today. I was his gunner on his first crew at Blytheville in 75. I was shocked to hear of his passing, he seemed the kind who would go on forever. He was a great leader and counselor to a young airman

Mrs Winterberger, I am so sorry to have heard, late, of MGen Winterberger's so sudden passing. I had the great fortune to serve under his command twice while on two assignments with NATO. He taught me many great leadership qualities, and was also a great mentor. I extend my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Hello, Winterbergers! My father brought this to my attention through the USAFA alumni association. It has certainly been a long time since our families were in touch, but please accept my sincerest condolences. To this day I have fond memories of joining Brad and Devin to play baseball with "Mr Gary". Thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Heard with great sorrow and surprise of Gary's passing. Great memories of him intense and a professional even as a copilot in Stan Eval. Sue and I remember with fondness the many laughs we shared in our younger days with you and the General. God Bless. We will remember you both in our prayers.

Carolyn: So sorry to hear of "Bunky's" passing. Great guy. Still remember your steak Diane. God bless.
