Gerry was a true "Man of Carroll". He was two years ahead of me at John Carroll University. I got to know him when I was development VP at the school. Gerry was very helpful to and generous with all our alumni and fund-raising efforts. He truly exemplified the Jesuit motto of being a "man for others". RIP, my friend.
