To my extended family, to say I´m sorry is inadequate to say the least. I loved him very much. To Finn, Kevin, Kate and Mike the loss is one of the hardest things you´ll ever know. If you are in need of anything I´m a phone call away. Sharon my best friend, my side kick, I am here ALWAYS. Love to all.

Thinking of you and your family Sharon. Gerry was so welcoming and helpful as I navigated my first year as the library's director. He had a great sense of gravitas tempered by a fine sense of humor. He'll be missed by all who were priviledged to know him.
