GERALD RIDGE

I knew Gerry in the 1970's. He was larger than life, extraordinarily creative, super bright, a great businessman, and humanitarian. Gerry always kept his word. Whenever I visited Gerry, we would immediately engage in arm wrestling. Most of the time Gerry would win. Gerry loved to laugh and had an enormous sense of humor. It was a privilege to be the friend of this great, great man. I miss Gerry enormously, and the world will be a lesser place without him.

Just finding out now about Mr. Ridge's passing. He was a great friend of my Dad, Paul, and mine for many years. I have fond memories of times at Ridge Arena and of helping him restore and finally part with a most incredible automobile; His Lincoln Mark III. Our condolences to his family. JP & Vilma Sweezey

Gerry Ridge leaves a big void in the lives of a great many people. I have had the privilege to be a lifetime neighbor and friend of Gerry. My family has benefited from his many generosities.
Gerry was the son of two wonderful people Abbie and Mike Ridge.
We were next door neighbors during my early years.
Gerry distinguished himself as a Boston Policeman,Banker, Businessman and benefactor.
Gerry established the City of Boston Police Athletic League to help young Boston...

Rest in Peace. Jerry was a true gentlemen.

Mrs. Ridge, Jen, Gerranne and Gerry, I'm truly Sorry for your loss. Mr. Ridge was always there for me when I needed guidance. For such a successfully business man to take the time to assist a young South Boston kid trying to start his own business demonstrates the type of man he was. Thirty years ago he provided the guidance I needed and was always there over the years offering his wisdom to help me have a successful business.
