Gerald Huff

Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Gerald's passing and am so sad to hear it. He and I worked together on a volunteer project during the 2016 election, building a get out the vote app. His contributions were instrumental. He made important changes to the concept, wrote a substantial chunk of the code, and then helped manage the system on the day of the election. Through his work hundreds of people were given rides to the polls who would otherwise have had trouble voting. He was a pleasure to work with, an...

I was so saddened and shocked to learn of Gerald's passing last week when I read about it in Harvard Magazine. I met Gerald as a freshman in college when he lived in Matthews South and I lived in Matthews North, with my good friend Maxine. (My maiden name was Constantikes.) I remember hanging out with him and Maxine over the course of a few months, and how his eyes lit up when he talked. Then, when he smiled, his eyes lit up even more.

I lost touch with him after that. Since...

My deepest condolences. Sincerely, Kimberly Fullerton (UHS '81).

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn tonight of Gerald's passing. Gerald gave generously every year to my organization, Forests Forever, a forest-protection and -conservation advocacy nonprofit, and for many years. Each year during the holidays I would have an extended chat with Gerald, sometimes by phone, but on many occasions sitting in his living room in Berkeley in front of the fireplace. On those visits I got to meet his gracious wife Judith, and his delightful, bright,...

Truly shocked to hear this news. Have many fond memories of Gerald at Trinity and in NYC, but somehow we never managed to reconnect in the Bay Area. Easily one of the smartest people I've ever known. Nice to read all the tributes ahead of mine. Thoughts are with his family.

I worked with Gerald at Intuit, not closely, but near. He was one of those people that even near meant you were impacted by him, and even not near he made you a better person via his intellect and positive nature. RIP, Gerald. We are all better off for knowing you. Thank you for that impact.

I was so shocked and saddened at the loss of Gerald from this world. I worked with him at Intuit in the Technology Innovation Group and I think everyone would agree that he was deeply admired, respected and liked by everyone...not always an easy feat. I found him brilliant and kind. We shared stories of the struggles of raising teenagers and we became friends along the way. He will be deeply missed in this world and I am glad that he did not suffer long - he certainly deserved to leave this...

I'm so sad to hear of Gerald's sudden passing. Gerald was my friend and coworker for a decade at Intuit. We worked closely together on numerous projects and I loved working with him. He was the kind of person everyone admires: kind to everyone around him, extremely bright, and hardworking.

I was shocked and saddened by Gerald's sudden passing. I'd head that he was ill only a few weeks ago and had a brief exchange with him on Facebook. Having heard that he was so ill, I was wrestling with the best way to share some thoughts with Gerald about how much I admired him and what a big impact working with him had on me for the rest of my career. Sadly, I didn't get the opportunity to tell him, but wanted to make sure that his beloved family could receive my deep condolences and could...
