Gerald goes back many years. Grew up together with his brothers and my family.
Our fathers were in business together as home builders. There were only two houses & open area between us. We played many softball games in that area. The Tiekens had very close ties between our families in our youth. We were deeply saddened by his passing. We loss a dear part of our heritage.
