Just read this after looking Gerald up after years of no contact between our families who's history goes back to our toddler days on Clydesdale Place Washington DC when our parents had spirited political discussions while Gerald and I played on the floor. I remember Gerald to be a good person who took care of his family and will be missed. Condolences to his family.

I spoke with Gerald by phone and my son David visited him at Brighton Gardens shortly before his death. We feel privileged to have had this contact. Jerry was his charming, interesting self to the end despite his pain and
paralysis. I am so happy to have known Gerald and his sister Paula and the rest of the extended family through the years since high school and college. The Sullivans have been a special family in my life and I am very grateful for this blessing.
