Rear Admiral Paul Thomas Gillcrist USN Ret

I am a fellow alumni of USNA and enjoyed his books and wrote him via both snail mail and email and he responded promptly. We exchanged information and it was so apparent this was a man of both stature and accomplishment who loved what he did and had an exceptional career. There are not many like him........my belated condolences to his family

Another of the good ones is gone. We are sad at his loss but better for having known him. I had the honor to serve under him when I was in VF31 and he was the Airwing "CAG".

I am so saddened to find out today that Adm. Gillcrist has passed. I have been a fan of his books and admired him greatly! We are all better because he walked the earth and flew the heavens with us.

My condolences to the Gillcrist family. As a complete propeller head and the son of a sailor, I have always admired his career and accomplishments.
