He will be missed.

I will always treasure the last time I visited Gerry in Colorado Springs. He gave the best tour of the Gallery with sparkle in his eyes and took me to a fabulous art opening at a local gallery. It was obvious he was adored in the Springs. Gerry, you are still loved and will be missed by many.

always a pleasure to visit, will miss gerry as we have bill and billie our next door neighbors for many years in pagosa springs

The best boss I ever had, the person who taught me to be honest without reserve, a brilliant and passionate man. I will miss Gerry dearly.
