So sorry to hear this. I was trouble shooter with VF-11. Lt Archiibald was our division officer. Had some really good memories of him. I should have looked him up earlier. We did a Med cruise in 78. Again so sorry

I always loved hanging out with Gary. We went to high school together and went to UVa together. In high school remembering him driving me around in his MG Midget. ice skating, playing soccer on the high school team together,,, jumping off the "Big Mo" into the water far below. Tobagoning in the moonlight I think it was called Pill Hill. We were roomates freshman year at UVa. We both pursued a BS in Nuclear Engineering. We both pursued NROTC. I dropped it after 3 years, Gary continued. He was a fun person as a kid and throughout school ! I've always missed him, now he's gone, but the memories are inspiring.

I am so very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Gary was a wonderful person ! I had known him 20+ years. I flew with him many times and it was always a pleasure, he was an excellent pilot and a very kind caring crew member and friend. He will be greatly missed....

I'm so sorry for the loss of Arch, I always hoped to spend some time with him again and catch up on his life. Alas again I have waited to long, we served together in two squadrons, always a great sense of humor. Also so very competent and cool under stress. One of my greatest disappointments was the poor handling of his interview at FedEx, the chief pilot loved him as soon as they met. The personnel department rushed them through some testing and were to blame. Sorry for rambling, Jane and I wish Penny and the rest of the family our deepest condolences. Warmest Regards Swoose and Miss Jane
