Gerry and Joe were amongst my favorite clients, met them when I first was out of law school and working for Donal Dunphy.

Such wonderful people, so enjoyed hanging out with them, socially as well as in the office...

In their memory I hope this will help, to remember to stay in contact with people....

So sorry for your loss. Gerry was such a wonderful person. I enjoyed our time, long ago, at the N'ton country club. My thoughts and prayer are with you.
