Whenever I think of Gerry, a smile comes to my face. Such a fun loving, pleasure to be with gentlemen. Shared many happy memories in Marco Island, Bermuda, and back home. He loved his Barracuda, and spoke so proudly of his Children and Grandchildren l. Hopefully the memories you share will fill the large hole in your heart ! God Bless and know he is in the Living embrace of Jesus and Mary. I´m sure my Jimmy welcomed him with a humorous slap on the back !!! Prayers are with his loving family!!
