Gerry's Family: My sympathy on your loss. Gerry was the wise patriarch of the CRNA crew when I worked with him for 10 + years prior to his retirement. He updated our NAPAN nurses at CEU conferences, and always returned the speaker stipend. Never lost his cool during sudden changes is a patient's condition. With a kind, fatherly voice he would calm the scared children in PACU. It was an honor to be on the team with him. Rest in peace, Gerry.

What a pleasure knowing & working along side of Gerry for over twenty years. He was a true servant of the Good Samaritan Medical community. His Christian philosophy was infectious.
