Gary was my commander for a few years whilst in royal Scots he helped me big time whilst I was injured,
Gary was a constant professional and a real leader,
A huge loss to all who came across his path,
The world is a worse of place minus Gary Tait,
If we could all be half the men Gary was we would all be winners.

Legend.
