Condolence from Michael Heesen on April 16th, 2019 6:47 am

I will always remember Gerry with a chuckle. He introduced me to a Scotsmac, man they were powerful. We had a nickname for him when playing pool, it was Rere, because that is what he would mumble when calling a shot. Heaven has become a much more fun place today. A true character has left us down here. Until we meet again cheers Gerry. My condolences to the family.
