Gerry was a great neighbor and friend. My parents and I will miss his trips over on his lawn tractor. He had one of the best personalities and his sense of humor was one of a kind.

Gerry was a fun loving neighborhood Dad. His smile radiated to everyone. He would visit the Minekime family during their reunions on his lawn tractor..with or without the grandchildren! He and his wife Flo certainly demonstrated to us all what it was like to be in love with each other! We will miss you!
