The Hunsicker Family,
There are too many people to list here, but you know who you are. There are no words to express how I am feeling right now. I will miss my Uncle Gerald very much. I am trying to find comfort in knowing that he is with Scott, Memmy, Pappy and Carl. I have so many fond memories of him growing up as a child, and those memories no one can take from us. Hold on to them and hopefully you can find some comfort and joy in them. If you need anything I am here for you. Love all of you with all my heart,

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you. Gerald was a friendly, kind and hard-working person in our neighborhood. We could always count on Gerald to clean the snow out of our intersection when he was driving the township plow!! Thanks Gerald! Rest in Peace.

To Barb and family, please let us know if there is anything that we can do. They say once a friend, always a friend. My family will always remember Gerald as a good friend, a unique person with a jovial smile and sincere willingness to help his family, firends and community. God's blessings as Gerald now travels with angels and instead of sharing stories with us, he is sharing stories with son Scott, brother Carl and his loving parents. from Curtis Renner family
