We received the unhappy news yesterday that our good friend and neighbor Gerald passed away early yesterday morning “in his sleep, peace and no struggle,” according to his wife Yvonne, who was with him when it happened.
Gerald was a great friend and a great man blessed with a tremendous family and we are broken hearted to see him go.
Rest in peace, Gerald.

Sorry for your community’s loss.
I’m so sorry, thinking of you, your family, and his.
Gerald was a very wonderful man. Very giving of himself in every way. I know from first hand experience. I also saw how much he was loved by the many visitors he had in his final days. So many people traveled far to tell Gerald how much he meant to them and how much they loved him. He will be missed very much. Thanks Jessie for the wonderful tribute you gave him.
