Gerald F. McCully

I miss Jerry everyday, I think of him and the things we've done together, his laughter, his jokes, him taking the time to play games with us...I know your looking after me Bro., I love you and miss you!

We first met Jerry at Mel and Jerry's wedding reception. We both liked him immediately. Since Erv used to live in Ft. Belvoir, VA when he was in the service and since I had never been in DC, Mel and Jerry showed us the sights. Jerry took Erv to a baseball game while Mel and I took the Metro and shopped. We had a great time and we will truly miss Jerry and wish Mel the best in the future. We know how much he cared for Mel and the entire family especially Nat and Sonya.

"Grandpa Jerry" was a very important part of our lives. Cherie and I often recall the day Mel first brought him over to meet us. It was for Thanksgiving dinner at our house on Capitol Hill. We knew that first day that Jerry was a "keeper," and we were so happy when he and Mel stayed together.

Jerry was a great friend who would do anything for you, and he was a wonderful grandpa to our children, Nat and Sonja. They loved him so much, and he was so good to them. His whole face...

Jerry was my uncle. We recently reconnected, and I am so thankful that we had an opportunity to talk on the phone several months ago. We didn't see each other often, however, the times we did were special. I will always remember the time Jerry took me and 5 of my college friends on a whirlwind tour of Washington DC. He was a great tour guide. It is with love and respect that I say goodbye!

Just thinking of Uncle Jerry and Aunt Mel makes me smile! In fact just thinking of Jerry saying the word "smile" with that South Eastern drawl of his and a grin from ear to ear makes me lonesome.

We meet Jerry in D.C. when he and Mel were just dating, he was always so eager to show you a good time. A wonderful host, he introduced me to my favorite bartender in D.C., "Shucks," at The Cafe' Italiano. We always enjoyed a good visit, singing show tunes, and enjoying a glass of...

Jerry and I go way back to the ‘60s when we both worked as clerks for Steuart Petroleum Company. Jerry worked his way up to fleet manager and while in this position held the office of President of the Truckers Association.

Jerry was a true professional who also knew how to have fun. I wish he could tell the goldfish story one more time. I’m sure he entertained many family and friends with it, as he loved to tell it. Paula especially shared his love of classical music and show...

My father was a wonderful man. We went through a lot together and I miss him very much. I appreciate all that Mel and her family did for him. I know I wasn't around much, but I did love him and it is very hard to realize that he is gone. Thank you all for your kind words. I know he is looking down smiling at all of us. I feel better knowing that he is up there looking out for me.

Jerry was a wonderful FRIEND and boss. I had the pleasure of working with Jerry when I lived on the hill. After the restaurant closed we continued to hang out and have fun. I didn't get the opportunity to see him and Mel when they moved to Florida, but we continued to talk via email. I will miss him very much.
