I was heartbroken to learn of Captain 'GA's' passing. He was an incredible Captain, and exemplified what it meant to lead a team with compassion, sincerity, and knowledge. When you saw him around the ship, he'd give you his signature 'thumbs-up,' or be giving a crew member a pat on the back. This was never a show - it was his genuine self, always on display, without ego or showmanship. I pray for his family who are suffering this deep loss, and I will always have the fondest memories of my time on Seabourn with him as Captain. May your memory be eternal, Captain GA.
