I am very sorry to hear of your loss, which is also a big loss to the Wellesley Amateur Radio society. Gerry was a fun and dynamic contributor to our radio club, often volunteering for various positions and assisting us with our Field Day activities. I had the honor of speaking with him through his radio system many times and enjoyed his jokes and stories about the customers he would encounter at work.

Rest well Gerry and thank you for all your good times!
