From our Michigan family to yours, our deepest sympathies. Gerry, you were one of a kind...a great guy. I truly am honored to have gotten to know you since we met after 9/11. You and Dorlene welcomed us warmly after Lisa and I got to know Bart and Michelle. ITFD will just not be the same without you. You have truly left behind a "legacy" that will always be remembered. Our family's prayers are with the entire Gugel family.

I know Gerry and his family a very long time, and in no way could I write everything right now, he will be missed by everyone who knew him, and if you never did get the chance, I am sorry you didn't.
He was a great man, funny, and always willing to give you the shirt off his back. My best to Dorlene, Gerald S., and Bart and the extended family.

To The Gugel Family,

You have my deepest sympathy on your loss. Gerry was a wonderful man and very helpful after my mother, Linda passed away last year. I wish I could say something to ease your pain, but I know from experience that there are no words that will do that. As long as you keep him in your hearts, he'll never truly be gone. If there's anything I can do to help ease your pain, please contact me.
