Not sure what to say?

Thank you, Gerry, for all the support. Please pray for my healing. May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

Always admired his intellect, and never mentioned any complaint about any health challenge- I miss him daily.

RIP. Gerry. GM

Today, remembering Jerry, I looked in the internet to find his contact information so I could say hi. Regretfully, my search uncovered the very sad news that he is no longer with us. Jerry was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor, an avid watch repair enthusiast among other things besides being a great ophthalmologist. I met him in New Orleans during his medical residency/fellowship there. We also got together to attend another friend /doctor's wedding in Washington in the late 80's (...

Hello- Brian Mahoney here - it's 9/17/23 today, and just today happened to see my high school and later friend had passed-I'll always cherish our 4/99 trip to Boston to get a '29 ford taxi and overnight with Dr. Bill Dec. My condolences...

Although it has been 6 yrs since Gerry left this earth to meet God, it feels like yesterday. Always kind, thoughtful, and supportive, he was more than a life long friend. He was family. He helped us with our mother who considered him a son; my siblings & I thought of him as a brother. Long will I remember our many laughs and visits. Thank you, Gerry. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Miss my friend and think of him often, like whenever I see old cars or something ridiculous we would enjoy laughing about. Hope Judy, Leland and Grace are well.

A well thought of person--miss you!

My son was a patient of Dr. DeWitt and we are both shocked to hear of this great loss. My family extends our deepest sympathy and prayers to the DeWitt family.
