Doreen and family. I will miss Gerry more than you'll know. My favorite memories are when he came to New York, just to hang, lay back in that blue recliner and we'd chat. He listened to me. Or sometime times we'd go down to that 'good ole time bar', The Hotel Austin, Whoopee! Never stayed long, just had fun with the locals…. I LOVE my memories of Gerry and will cherish them forever… I love you Doreen….. Mom (Lu) is right here with you. Linda
