Dear Arleen, Sincere condolences on the passing of your wonderful dad. Brendan has told me how much he enjoyed meeting him over the years and what a true gentleman he always was. I know you, Dermot and the boys were particularly close to your dad which makes his passing even harder. Thinking of you, your mum, brother and all your family on this very sad weekend.

What a perfect picture of Gerry! It captures his kindness gentleness, those twinkling eyes and that genuine smile. Thankfully we'll be able to see those reminders when we see Arleen. We felt so blessed each time we were able to spend time with him and his darlin, Margaret. How lucky we are to have known him. Our hearts and prayers go out to you Margaret and your families.

I have had the pleasure to come to know Gerry and Margaret through their many visits to Milwaukee and my life is richer for it. What a special man! Though I haven´t seen him in a little while, I can clearly see his twinkling eyes and wry smile in my mind´s eye. He was so kind and always interested in others. He was an devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. A prince of a man who will be sorely missed by so many. My deepest condolences to Margaret and the whole family. His memory will live on through you all.

Sending all our love,
Jen and Paul Deslongchamps and family

Mr. Hughes was such a kind and gentle soul. We would frequently see him out on a walk through the neighborhood and he would always have a smile and a wave for us! He would never drive by without a wave and a honk as well. My heart goes out to Margaret, Colin, and Arleen, and all of his grandchildren. He will be very missed and remembered so fondly by the Walsh family.
Love Always,
Kristen
