Colonel David L. Sims, Usaf (Retired)
My most sincere condolences to KT and the entire family. Garth was indeed unique, all in the absolute best of ways. In him, what you saw is what you got. Garth was modest (almost to a fault), even keeled, generous, and honorable. But then what would you expect from a decorated combat Marine, retired Coast Guard officer and aviator, and veteran airline pilot whose passengers’ lives he safeguarded during so many hours in the air. Garth may no longer physically join his friends for breakfast at Elwood’s Shack, Brother Juniper’s, or the West Street Diner, but he’ll always be there in spirit. Garth, Semper Fi and Semper Paratus.
