Robb and him became such good friends. He truely will be missed. We will miss hearing his voice over the fence and giving us young couple advise about life. It wont be the same without him. If you need anything please let us know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Family I was sad when I pasted the house and saw the flag at half mass, Mr. Holt always had a wave for us whenever we drove down the street to go home. I am sorry for your lost and the lost that the neighborhood is surely going to feel. We will always remember his smiling face and willingness to spend a few mintues talking about anything. Our thoughts and Blessings are with you. The Roy Family

Dear Family
I became acquainted with Gerald each time he came to Cottonwood Hospital and most recently Intermountain Medical Center. He was the kindest man I know and always friendly and could make me laugh.
Please accept my deepest condolences.

Shirley and kids. I am sorry for your lost at this time. We could not have asked for a better neighbor than your family. Gerald was always the first to lend a helping hand. We hope you find peace in knowing that he suffers no more. Please know Shirley we are here if you need help in anyway. Gerald will be missed.
