Mary Ann & Family, time does fly, it seems. I can see Gerald & Judy laughing and having a great time . It's been a year and a half since Judy passed away. Doesn't seem like its been that long.

Although this is a commercial reminder, I still value Gerald and his wife as high school friends and more recently as a Raleigh Sports Club friend.
Bless his family continuing!

I worked with Gerald at the U. S. Attorney's Office. What a great guy. Thought so much of him. He was also a great attorney. Our prayers are with you, Mary Ann, and your family.

Sorry for your loss, Bass family. Sincere condolences to you all. May you find a measure of comfort in the kind words of others and precious memories you shared with your loved one. May our greatest Comforter, God, continue to strengthen you by the promises found in His word.

Sincere condolences to Gerald's family. I have so much enjoyed our banter each week at Raleigh Sports Club. He always kidded me about my NC State ties. I played basketball with Gerald at New Bern High School and had forgotten that he and Mary Ann were married (she was a great basketball player herself).
Gerald will be missed by so many. Good , good man !!
