Not sure what to say?

Dr. Gerd was such a wonderful man, and even greater doctor. I can´t believe he´s gone, and we all miss him very very much.

We are so grateful for the Gurd/ Imrie family. Three generations of Behms have been touched by their kindness and skill. Thank you for generosity of service and your friendships. We celebrate Dr. Gurd´s life and honor his memory.

My condolences and deepest sympathies are extended to Ruth and the family.

One of the finest people I ever knew.

Dr. Gurd will always be one of my all time favorite people. He and Ruth were so supportive of Kenston and all of the kids. Loved working with his children both in the classroom and in athletics.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a Rheumatology Colleague who shared our patients with Juvenile Arthritis. While I did not know Alan personally, I was move to read about his passing. My Condolences to all of you for your loss. Dr. Allen M Segal

We are so sad to hear of your loss. I will always remember his smile and soft spoken voice. A kind man with a big heart. He will be missed. All our love, Janet &Gordon Fuchs and family

I am so sorry to hear of Alan´s passing. He had such a wonderful sense of humor with that twinkle in his eyes and smirk upon his lips. I´m sure he is teeing off on the grandest of golf courses! The Fabulous Foursome are together again. Love to you, Ruth and kids.
