To the family, please remember the fire cracker that Jerry was in life. Jerry was a co-worker at ARL and I miss the morning conversations with Jerry about sports and life. May you rest in peace Jerry.

Gerald was a fun loving person. He was all about baseball and enjoyed being around anything or anyone having to do with it. Not to be said he also enjoyed being with family and friends. Maybe he can get a ball team together in Heaven with his brother Ed and friend Allen "Sox" Fravel. Remembering you always.
