Gerry and I went to Bass High School together, class of 1956. We were friends and played touch football together many afternoons in a park near his home on Palifox. Great guy, quiet and unassuming and very smart.

Dearest Mrs. Chatham and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of Mr. Chatham, there is nothing that can be said that will heal the pain from a love you've had for over 50 years, but continue to lean on your Heavenly Father he will help you get through each second, minute, hour then the day. He will not let your hand go as long as you hold on to his. Continue to love and support on another.
