I remember first meeting Gerry on his 62nd birthday when he interviewed for a position at Keach-Nordstrom Associates. During the course of our interview we talked for about an hour about anything and everything except of course work. I guess we didn't need to talk about that since Gerry's resume and many great references already landed him the job before he even walked in our door. I will always remember Gerry as one of the most genuinely kind and decent men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was also a damn good Boston Bruins fan too!

God Speed Gerry ... you will be missed by all who ever had the pleasure of knowing you.

I am very sorry to hear this news.
Gerry was a faithful and dedicated member of St. James. I once asked him if he was ever tempted to carry the cross like a stop/slow sign, turning it 180 degrees. He laughed his usual laugh and said, "that would be interesting".

I sure you will miss him. He now knows the full truth of God's Easter love that he celebrated so often.

Blessings,
Fr. Hank

I was saddened this morning when I found out Gerry had passed. I used to work with Gerry at Keach-Nordstrom Associates in Bedford before he retired. He always had something new to show us and I loved talking to him about the Shriners. He used to make me laugh and I remember one story in particular that he told me about how he used to bring a dirty toothbrush he had been using in his garage to the dentist when he had a cleaning and ask the hygenist if she thought he needed a new one :) I still have the four-leafed clover that he gave me for good luck before I got married. I will never forget Gerry. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
