I met Pastor Gerberding less than a year before his retirement from Grace Lutheran, and yet he took an interest in me, guided me through my rockiest period of life, and "saved" me from turning my back on the Church. Thank you. Mark

Pastor Gerberding was a major force in my spiritual journey because of his open questioning of Biblical interpretations. I had just located his whereabouts only to learn of his passing. Susan Fulton

I loved the music he brought to Grace Lutheran Church in Casper, WY. Our families loved him.
