Dear Sue & Family,
May the Love of God enfold you during this time. May you find comfort in knowing he doesn’t suffer any more, and that he knows and understands the purpose of his life. You are in my prayers.
I will remember him and his family in my prayers. I will miss his friendship, jokes,and smile. It was my treasure to have been his friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time. I’m so sorry and am praying for God to give you strength and we send you our love. Angi, Brandon and alexander
We all loved him. There was no one quite like Gerry, practical but caring. You could always be sure that Gerry had his heart in the right place. I will shed a tear every time I put his Christmas ornaments on our tree. Many, many years of ornaments, all beautiful to me. I feel so luck to have know Gerry. He beat me at pinochle many times and I will remember that smile!
I worked with Gerry at Aramark for over 8 years. Although I have not worked there for the last five years, I still remember Gerry fondly. It was a pleasure to work with him. He was always willing to help and always had a smile and a great conversation. He gave me many ideas to keep the bees away as I am allergic. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
