I had the pleasure to work with your Dad and Grandpa for a number of years at the mall before he retired, he was a kind and caring man. Gerry had a wonderful smile and laugh.  His pride and joy in his family was always apparent.  I picture him now sitting in heaven beside his beloved Betty with that great smile on his face.  Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
