I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Geralds passing. Although he was my cousin, I was so much younger than him, so I called him Uncle. I played with all of his children when we visited our respective grandparents living in Shenandoah. Uncle Geralds mother, Helen Romaka, was my godmother. I was always in awe when I saw him in his uniform and I thought he was so handsome. He and Loretta made a lovely couple. Rest In Peace Uncle Gerald. I look forward to seeing you again.

Sorry to hear about the passing of cousin Gerald. He was a man of God, a devout Catholic and a practicing member of the Knights of Columbus. I will miss trading stories with Gerald of our Air Force experiences. He will truly be missed. Condolences to Loretta and the Sporay family. God bless all.
