Not sure what to say?

Another year has come and gone. You remain in our memories of good times at Harvey’s Lake.

I was just talking about you yesterday, my handsome Irish friend! You are missed, Jerry! Thanks for the memories.

I can't believe it's been four years already. Greatly missed - may he rest in peace. Tom Mc Donnell

Oh that smile and laughter we all miss. You made our world a better place.

Known Gerry for a few years. He was great friends with my family members. My mom grew up with his wife Kathy. He always joked about cutting my hair. He was such a funny guy. I used to see him up the casino alot. I knew he loved gambling. It's sad that he had to leave this Earth so soon. I will never forget what a kind and funny person he was. God bless him. I wish he was still alive to get together with my family n enjoy his funny sense of humor he had.

Still in my memories and laughter Jerry.

Gerry was the kind of guy who will always be remembered - never forgotten. My sincere condolences to his family

Gerry left the world a better place! I just heard about our loss of Gerry. It was only about a month ago i ran into Gerry at Damians at the Lake! it was a great reunion! Our family had known Gerry for 50 years! One of the best things about being a friend with Gerry was if you didnt see him for a year or 10 years you could always pick up where you left off the last conversation you had. He cared -about you and your family. He always asked "hows everybody doin in your family?" Special man,...

Our deepest sympathies to Kathy, Kate, and family. The Gerry stories I have heard over the past 40 years are hysterical. It was always a pleasure to see Gerry or hear a story, a laugh was always in store either way. He was a kind and thoughtful man, a gentleman. Too young and too full of life to leave us so early. May God keep him and your grief in the palms of his hands. Love, Kathy, Alexis, and Sasha Anselmi
