Just a quiet word without invading your personal grief.....
We send our deepest sympathy in your recent loss of Gerald. We couldn't have asked for any nicer people to become part of our extended family when Tammy and Ronnie got married. We have enjoyed together many holidays, birthdays and other special events over the years and attended and supported many events together for our mutual grandson Justin as he was growing up and finally joining the Marines.
Hopefully, the many years you had together with Gerald will help comfort you in the immediate days ahead.
With warmest regards,
John & Angelyn Wiliams

Gerald was a high school friend and it was always good to see him at Class of '54 reunions. I know he will be sorely missed by family and friends. My prayers are with you.

Gerald and his family have been dear friends for many years. He was a "hunting buddy" of my late husband, Leo. They had many good times together though I suspect that in later years a lot of it was spent snoozing in their trucks while in the hunting woods. He will truly be missed by our family as well as his own.

I am Thankful to have known Gerald and his family since 1994, when he hired me to work at MD Transport. Gerald, was one of a kind and cannot be replaced, I will forever cherish the memories and all the stories he had to tell. He had a love for his family and always bragged on them and how proud he was of them. One thing is for sure, he would have walked to the ends of the earth for them. Gerald was like a 2nd dad to me and always called me his daughter, which I was proud of. He will be missed dearly by all that loved him. May the family find comfort and peace in the coming days.
