I used to play at the Peck house in the 50's with Joe Filanda Jr.
and I was always welcomed by Gerry
and the rest of the Pecks every time I came. My father was a friend of "Papa" Henry, and I would find myself there on quite a few weekends. Gerry would always have time to play baseball and just pay attetion to Joe Jr. and myself. I have wonderful memories of those days. I was very sad to hear to hear of Gerry's passing.
Please except my sincere condolences.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. God give us the strength to carry us through this time of unexpected departure. For those Gerald is leaving behind, I believe, will now have an angel watching over them. May Gerald rest in peace. Amen.
