Throughout my life Uncle Gerald was naturally one of my favorite uncles. I am so thankful that my family and I were able to reconnect with him (and Aunt Alice) after our move here. With love and condolences, Cassie A. Browning and family

I am truly sorry for your loss, I have just found out at this time and moment, again my deepest sympathies, he was the greatest, funniest uncle around. My grandmother Esther Medeiros just thought the world of him, he will be sadly missed.

Alice,
My deepest sympathies on the passing of GB, he was a person that I will always consider a dear friend. He was one of the nicest, caring and genuine people I have had the pleasure to work and socialize with. A true "Kentucky Gentleman". I lost my father in March of 2007, and now with the passing of Gerry, two of the greatest men that I know from that generation have left us.
My sincere condolences on your loss
