I am sadden to report that on Thursday night, Sept 2nd, my Vietnam battle buddy and good friend Garland K. Stewart lost his fight Cutaneous Lymphoma, an Agent Orange related cancer. The past month was really hard for Big G. I last spoke with Garland on Aug 23rd. He hadn't been feeling good, had received some bad news about his condition, and told me he didn't want visitors or phone calls. He called me on the 30th, but hung up before we could talk. Garland is survived by his wife and soul mate Cathy, a brother, and two nephews. It was Big G's request to be cremated and that his ashes be scattered off the shore of Tybee Island, GA. Blackhorse Troopers wishing to attend the memorial service need to arrive at Capt Mike's Dolphin Tours at 2:30 P.M. Saturday Sept 10th (turn right just after the bridge to the Island or left just before the bridge.
