Dear Bev,Lori,Lee & Kelly,
We were so surprised and saddened to hear
about our good friend and camping buddy.
All of you are an important part of our family life and we sure had a lot of good times together. Sitting around the camp fire, making sumores, getting chased by geese at Sleepy Hole and so many more memorable moments. One time GG and I nearly knocked each other out when we woke to the fire alarm at Sta. One, we both bent over to grab our boots and pull on the bunkers at the same time. We head butted so hard we fell backward rubbing our heads and laughing. We were all so indestructable!
Our hearts go out to you as we share in your loss.
Norm, Trisha, Jenny,Norm Jr. and Heather Dominesey

Gerry is no longer with us now, he 's gone, he is in haven.
God reserved a special place for him, because he was a special person.
Now he will watch over his family as he did all his life.
Eterno riposo dona lui Signore, risplenda ad egli la luce perpatua. Amen

Dear Larson family, I considered Gerry a close friend and a wonderful mentor. I will never forget the long discussions over campfires long after the boys were in their sleeping bags. I will miss him dearly but he's looking down on all of us, smiling, and still wearing his shorts and t-shirts no matter what the weather!
Yours in Scouting, Chris Mulholland

Beverly and family,
I worked with GG for over twenty eight years in the fire service. It was a pleasure in every way. He was a firefighter’s chief. He always made sure everyone in his command was safe and secure on the fire ground and in the station. He was always there if you needed an ear just to listen. He was a great friend and mentor. He was very knowledgeable with his job, family and life. I leaned on him. A true Professional. He was never overpowering with opinion. He would listen to your ideas and if they matched the profile then he would let you run with it. A real morale builder, never a cross word. He will be missed by everyone who had the privilege to know him.

Gerry, I will miss you very much. You've helped me get (push) my own boys, along with so many others, through scouts successfully. I could always count on you for help or a laugh and the Tigers sure loved seeing you every Tuesday. Keep an eye on us and give us a nudge or a kick in the seat when we need it most.
Bev, Lori, Lee Ann, and Kelly, thanks so much for sharing him with us. I am very sorry for your loss and you have my sincerest condolences.

Beverly,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the occasion of Gerry's passing. He was a selfless individual who, through his work in Scouting and in his community, positively influenced a number of young and old alike. His lasting legacy of personal service will continue as an inspiration for us all. His joyful and friendly presence will be sorely missed...it was a true honor to have known him.
Sincerely,
Geoff, Joanne and Christine Corson

From my very first Fire Station GG became my friend and mentor. He was a man's man, with forearms like Popeye that one never forgets. Later he became my Battalion Chief. Only a Firefighter can understand this, but with GG his men always came first. Their can be no higher compliment from the Fire Service. I can never remember when GG didn't have a smile on his face and be ready to jump in with any work that needed to be done. I will never forget GG and his example he set for all of us to live up to. He's one of those guys that helps shape your life. Thank you GG and thank you Beverly for always standing beside your wonderful husband.
Your Friend In This Life and The Next,

We will be leaving for Tennessee tomorrow so we will be unable to attend Gerry's funeral but we wanted you, Lori, Lee Ann, and Kelly to know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. The Larsons will always hold a special place in our hearts. Gerry could make you feel better by just being around him. May the memories of his fun-loving personality sustain you during this difficult time.
Love,
