Gerard I. McAlinden Sr.

Dear Patricia and Family, Sue and I are so so very saddened to read of Gerry's Death. Gerry was a special friend and classmate. Yes, PHS class of '51! You, his family, can be very proud of Gerry's happy, contagious smile and positive attitude. His life, right up to death, is something we should all try to emulate. We have loved Gerry. We will miss our yearly visit this year. He has struggled so with his health and now is at peace with our Heavenly Father.

A dear and wonderful person who was quick with a story and an infectious smile.

I have many memories of him at Twin Pine Airport. He was a legend there and very well respected. I'll always remember the sound of his voice, so calm and so reassuring during my check ride in 737PA.
