“They might not even be related,” said Sgt. Art Windemuth, a spokesman for the Maryland Natural Resources Police. “We’ll have to wait and see.”

I knew Jerry when I was a kid and a teenager. He hung out with my parents and my uncle when we were all down at Wicomico.
My prayers are with you Aunt Gloria & Uncle Preston!
Love,

I worked with Greg for a couple of years in the Marine Construction business. He is going to be missed very much. I don't know how someone can just fall off the back of a barge and no one calls 911 or the Coast Guard for more than an hour. I think there is much more to this story than what is being said. I hope someone out there is doing there job. RIP "LUCK"
