I can't even count all the times Sgt Pettry made me laugh or helped me to find my bearings when I was feeling down back in our Army days in Germany, but I am surely grateful to have known him during that time. Goodbye, Sarge, rest well.

I will miss his calls,his jokes, his potty mouth, but most of all I will miss the end of every call when he would tell me how much he loved me and missed me. Rest in peace my brother I will always love you unconditionally,
