It's hard to say good-by to old friends.....and I've known Gerald and Gloria since high school. Gerald, you were a mentor to many struggling with addictions, you were a friend to those who were alone, you were a cheeerleader to those little kids you coached in bowling!!! You were responsible for the awesome military info at the museum! Sons of Norway!! There will only be one Gerald Maurseth. You and Gloria were animal lovers and, for me, that was paramount!!! Rest in Peace, Dear Friend....

Gerald,
Was a very kind person who enjoyed the bowl and teaching bowling to the youth. I knew Gerald through being on the State Youth Bowling board and through the many jamborees he and I attended. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in these trying day. He will always be in the hearts of may bowlers and friends that knew of his passion for the sport of bowling.
He will be forever missed Anton
