Gerald John Philbin

Jerry and I were students at SUNY Buffalo in the `60s, and became good friends. We both got to know and befriend Milton Plesur, Ph.D, an American history professor at UB, as well. Dr, Plesur was beloved by many students, and we thought he should be honored by creating a Milton Plesur Fund in the history department. Jerry sent a letter to all of his known student friends, and a Milton Plesur Fund was created. It has become an endowed fund in the history department that has and will continue...

Gerry, you departed too soon. You were a close friend to Christa and I. I will miss our discussion on all important issues regarding sports and politics. We are very thankful to have been friends over the past 30 years, Bob and Christa
