Gerry was a friend, fellow worker at the Corps and a golfing partner, mostly good memories. One thing I remember is when we worked together at Old River Low Sill for 8 months in 1987, made some money, so most of us bought, let's sat practical things, like a boat, a car, Gerry bought a HOT tub.
We'll miss Gerry and his Saint parties.

I had the pleasure of meeting the Giroir family when I was a pre-k assistant. Nancy and I became instant friends and still remain the same. Her talent in crafting was amazing and it cost me a lot of fair money at her booth. Gerry (I called him that for some reason) was clearly impressed as well and tolerated hours and hours indulging her with space and time to create. I'll miss him so much at the fair. I think we had a special connection and I loved picking on him every time I saw him. What a sweet soul and adorable smile, always. Much love to Nancy, Kevin and Laura. Kathy

He was a kind, loving good man. He reminded me of his father. This family has a suffered a terrible loss. We are cousins but have not seen much of each other because our lives went in different directions. I wish I would have seen him often. He gave me away on my second marriage. I love him. I will be praying for Nancy and his family .
