Like my sister,Elizabeth, I too have many fond memories of my Uncle Gerard. Even though it has been many years since I have seen him, I can still remember his energy and bright smile. My deepest sympathy to all my relatives "up East" as my dad used to say.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. It has been many years since I've seen my Uncle Gerry. When I saw his picture here, I couldn't help but see how much he resembled my father, Omer. They had the same sparkle in their eyes. I have fond memories of visiting with him at Aunt Esther's house and I send my heartfelt condolences to all.
