Dear Mary Anne and Family,
I worked with Gerry for years at APCI and always enjoyed his outlook on life and willingness to help others. We had great discussions about building projects and I still remember when he re-roofed the barn back in the 80's sometime. Gerry was a great engineer and friend to so many and he will be missed by us all. Please know my prayers are with you and the family as you mourn and push on. May God give you strength and courage to accept this tragic loss.

Dear Mary Anne and family,
I had not seen Gerry since he retired, but always will count him as a great friend and a person I really liked to be with. I knew Gerry probably from the 70's at Air Products, and it was always great to work with him. I welcomed the times we could discuss a problem or just talk. He will remain in my mind as a cheerful Brit, approachable, patient, knowledgeable and a gentleman. I regret not having seen him after we both left the company, but he will always be my friend and a good man. I wish you and your family well as you go through this difficult time.
