What a senseless loss, I knew and enjoyed Gerald's friendship for years...my thoughts and condolences go out to the family.

We lived around the corner from the Goran's in Modesto where Gerald and I attend school together for many years. I have been fondly thinking and talking about him with my family and friends as recently as a few weeks ago. I very much considered him a friend, enjoyed his company, and am remorseful that I did not reach out sooner to reconnect...

He truly was one of the good ones and will be missed!

Sincerely ~ Eric
