Tribute Wall
Leave a tribute for Gary Lynn Swink.
It was a privilege to serve with Gary in the U.S. Army in what was then West Germany in the late 1970s. What I remember most about Gary was his amazing sense of humor and his pride in being a Norrh Carolinian. Please accept my condolences for your loss.
