Gerry spent his early teaching years at Belleview-Santos and was always ready with a smile or a helping hand. He supported his students and as the MEA president, his teachers. He was a great friend and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Gerry was a great friend and colleague. BHS will never be the same. He always had a unique and positive way of looking at things. I'm going to miss our talks and the occasional lunch together. God bless you and your family.
