Gerald was such a caring and giving person. He firmly believed if someone was in need it was your place to help them. He was a fun-loving person with a wit about him that made it so enjoyable to be around him. There was always lots of laughter whenever he was around.
Gerald spent his retirement years enjoying the beauty and serenity of Lake Livingston. He enjoyed fishing, watching football (Texans), baseball (Astros), and Nascar. But most of all he loved the time he spent with the kids, grandkids, great grandkids, siblings and friends.
