Dear Tana and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of being taught by Rick at the Buckeye Acadamy. He and my dad Jim Fetterman were friends from the good ol' day's at the P.D. He will be missed. May God Bless You!

I am so sad to see this. After graduation I would look forward to seeing Mr. Gerwin every year at the fair. Mr. Gerwin was one of the best teachers I had in school. He taught us as much about life as he did law. I still quote many things he said told us during class. He would be proud to know how his words of encouragement helped mold this young woman. He may not be with us but his thoughts and ideas will be passed on.

When David Wright informed me, my knees went limp, my heart sank. I am sure your reaction was much deeper felt. Even though I haven't seen him in years, he still is in my heart. I love Tricky Ricky Mr. Gerwin. There is no man that compares to the heart and the personality of our mentor and instructor who helped make our HS days bearable and rewarding. I am grateful that he was a part of my life. Thank you for sharing him with us. May God keep you and bless you through this time.
Love...

I am sorrowful about his departure. He was a great teacher and the "BEST". I wish he could've saw the profile dedicated to McK Law Enforcement Alumni on MySpace. All Alumni are welcomed to be apart of it. Search for McK LAW on MySpace.
I am very sorry for your loss.
