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,

Cyndi

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"
