He would always say "There's a burglar in the house" when the boys would come over. He also loved himself some Golden Corral.

Dirt was getting tired of the troubles of this world. His thoughts resonated with Psalm 55:6, "Oh if I had wings like a dove! I will fly away and be at rest." On March 30, 2026, He received his new set of orders. These orders were not like any other orders that he had ever received, God's orders. "Master Sgt. Gary, Dirt, it's time."
