I was a young employee at Bellingham National Bank and remember Jerry always being a very gracious man with no pretenses. Enjoyed conversations with him.

"To everything there is a season". Your dad touched so many people in his full life. How great he was able to let go knowing you were prepared to carry on with fabulous memories to warm your hearts after he was gone. Teresa , the times I saw you with your father after the YMCA's classes enjoying a Coop bakery break, spoke louder than words. He loved and trusted you to be there for him; to handle obstacles and decisions for him. You with Toby and your family encoraging you on did not let him down. He was ready for the turning of the final season here and to step into the great unknown with faith that all was well with those he left behind.

Gerry was fine gentleman and a man of his word. He served on the board of directors while I worked there. He was always supportive of the employees.
It was a pleasure to know him.
