My deepest condolences to the whole family.

Mr. Gerling as I knew him was a cool person. He taught me to drive and was always happy to take Hanley (then Traci) wherever we needed.

He was cheerful and kind. I had the pleasure of visiting with him and Mrs. Gerling two summers ago when I came home to visit family and feel so lucky to have spent the quality time with them both.

He will be missed and fondly remembered.
