Gerry came into my life when his mom's brother Ed Zellmer married my Aunt Ann and we became friends. I always found Ger (as that is how is signed the cards he sent to me) to be a very caring man. He made it a point to keep in touch with me after my husband passed and even took me out to dinner with Margaret. He always did kind things for his neighbors and he LOVED his family. I wish him peace and a happy reunion with those he loved and lost.

My sincere condolences to Jerry’s family. Marie and Rudy, Jerry’s parents, were dear friends of my parents. And Jerry was a caring friend of my brother, John Laraway, who passed recently. John was a longtime resident at Wesley Healthcare and Jerry would reach out to him frequently over the years. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
