Gerry was a very valuable member of the Angle Tree Stone Rod & Gun club. He was a mechanical genius and kept all the equipment running and in good repair. He would give help and advice to anyone who needed it. He will be missed by all. God bless you Kim and your wonderful family.

I'd like to think that the Miller boys are going to have one of the best Christmases that any of them have had in a very long time...sitting together, talking, laughing, and catching up on lost time. To Dad, Uncle Gerry, Uncle Chuck, Andrew, and our grandfather Kenneth, on behalf of all the Miller girls, we love you all more than words can say. Rest in peace, it's comforting to know you are all together again.

Kim & family, so sorry for your loss. Watching the video reminded me of so many times I had with the family when I was young. You & Gerry were very kind to me & I enjoyed babysitting for you (probably with Bonnie!). I know Uncle Gerry meant so much to Donna & the girls. Praying for you all. Laurie (Warriner) Morin

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

My heart is broken with the loss of this man. He was the true patriarch of our family. He was humble and kind. The best, of the best! He took care of each and every one of us! I just hope that he knows how much we all loved him.

Aunt Kim, Michelle, Victorria, Chris and Ashley. My Uncle has always been a big part of my early life. He is the first person I towed a car with. He taught me how to drive a 3 on the Tree. He was always available when you needed assistance. He tried to get me to like deer, that was a no go! He helped me at Nanas after grandpa passed. I had to mow that lawn and shovel the snow. He always encouraged me to be kind and do what was best for me. When I moved away I would call him at the firehouse from time to time. Although we did not speak much I loved and respected my Uncle very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you move through this. Love yall.

I knew Gerry as a hard-working Firefighter on the very busy Rescue Company-2. Never complaining about much of anything. Just a good man, which in today's world is a treasure.
