I had no idea of Gerald's passing until this morning. I was in for my 115,000 mile service and was going to ask Gerald's wife how he was doing since I had not seen him for awhile. I decided to wait and then started to look around the office. I noticed a picture on the wall by the door of Gerald leaning on a Honda Civic. I cannot recall what was written on it but it gave me a bad feeling. I then overheard his wife on the telephone shortly thereafter.....she mentioned his passing to...

I moved away a few years ago. I drove back to KC for a visit, and even though it was a new Honda, I felt safer knowing that Gerald had checked out the new car before I left KC. My dad told me about Gerald, and that's when he became my mechanic for about 10 years. As a single parent struggling to raise 2 children, money was tight, and I appreciated knowing that Gerald was fair and honest in his business. He kept my Civic going for over 277,000 miles and then bought it from me. Over the...

There are so many memories that it would take another ten years to put it in to words.You were the best dad ,I could have ever had for my daughter.I will miss you so much. I'm glad i mad the decisions that i made over the years.you taught me I'd never go down unless i wanted to and it made me stronger than i thought i could ever be ,i'll always love you for that.I'll see you again someday.

I knew the day I met Gina & Gerald at the bank, that they were two truly great people. To Gina and family, my heart goes out to you. Be strong in the thought that he made so many peoples life better and he did that with your support and love.

Gerald was the truly the best mechanic I've ever known. He always diagnosed over the phone. The only time I stumped him was when I was describing symptoms that were actually due to me being out of gas - which he had a great laugh about. He was always generous with me and concerned about the safety of my vehicle. I was assaulted by somebody who pulled over to help me change a tire and the next day I stopped to see Gerald who insisted on giving me a stick to keep in my car to fight off anyone...

What can I say except this world lost a great one Gerald had qualities that made him a true hero unselfish things that he did for people that most didn’t know of. He was truly an uncommon man in today’s world. If you didn’t want the truth Gerald was not the one to ask. He told you like it was and didn’t sugar coat it. He was a super mechanic and a very honest person and that is hard to find these days. I don’t know about everyone else, but I kind of like life that way myself. I don’t know...

Although I haven't known Gerald & Gina very long, they have always treated me as a friend and made me feel at comfort when in their shop. As busy as they have been, they always made time to talk even if the news hasn't been ideal. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family I will always have a specil place in my heart for Gerald.
