Gerry was a great boss and a great loving person. He was always fair and loved to play the game of golf. I enjoyed spending time with him and listening to his many jokes. He was the best joke teller ever and never seemed to run out of them. I hope there is a golf course in heaven.. He earned a lifetime eternal membership.
