Gerald B. Sproles

Oh I have so many fun memories at Osborn High Shool.

Lots of memories as my uncle. One is him churning homemade ice cream in the mid 70s over the 4th of July when it was 95* outside. Never any better ice cream than homemade. Another was playing cards with him, Bob (my father) and Glenn (his youngest son) He was very good at any card game we played, just like you would have expected for a Navy guy on a boat for months at a time ; ) He was always in service of so many. I am and will be amazed by his drive to help and serve others. Love ya uncle...

I'm so sad to see this. We attended Osbourn High School and Manassas Baptist Church together for many years. Garry was a special friendbut I hadn't seen him very often in recent years. My love and sympathy to each one of you. God be with you, MaryAlice (Dodd) Corder

Rest in peace, good friend.

We will miss Gerry volunteering at the Manassas Museum and his devotion to his community. I was glad to interview him as he shared memories for the Manassas 150th Birthday video series. He appears in several videos including this one: https://youtu.be/TNUq6W0IooI

Gerry was one of the most patriotic veterans I have known. He was always there willing to support when asked, and volunteered when not. Gerry was an inspiration to those around him but always humble in what he did for others. The only thing that surpassed Gerry's affection for his fellow veterans was his devotion and admiration of his family. Rest in peace good friend you will be remembered and missed. May God welcome and keep you.

I will never forget your kindness and fun spirit. RIP Gerald you were loved by many.
