Lloyd and family, Wayne and I express our sympathy and let you know that you are in our prayers. May peace and comfort surround you at this time of the passing of Gerald. The last time I saw Gerald, he was very happy and we spent a couple of hours enjoying lunch and family history at Taco Bell. I will always remember and appreciate his guidance on our trek through the property where his grandmother, Minnie Brocksch Gilmore, lived with her parents beside the railroad track in Chipley. Gerald also told me about Gilmore Bay and family history that he learned from our aunt. He will be missed by his friends and family. He was always there for us!
