We want to express our sympathy to Faye and Don, Roy, and Rick and their families. Our friendship with Gerry and his family started back in the good old days in Ft. Lauderdale. We continue to be close to Don and his family and have tried to stay up on the rest of the family. Gerry was a very talented man, and was admired by many. Love, Ray and Myra Carson
