Please accept my regrets and apology for my ignorance of Gerald's passing. His handshake and attendance at a community choir concert a few years ago meant a lot to me.

Dear Stuart, Linda, Deb, Doug, and families! I'm so sorry to hear of Gerald's passing! He was such a wonderful, kindhearted, and giving man! I can't tell you all the wonderful lessons and opportunities this man and your whole family helped me achieve! This man will always have a special place in my heart, just as I know he has in yours! Hold on to all the good memories you have and know he is always there with you!

Linda, Stuart, Debbie and Doug - I will always have very fond memories of your dad's friendship, support, and plain old helpfulness during my 5 years in East Homer. He could always be relied upon, with a wonderful combination of strength and gentleness. And there were also the occasional chess games (we were pretty evenly matched), an enjoyment of the birds we spotted together, and numerous other random moments that we shared. And I still remember that bucket-load of "soil" he brought for our flower garden out front - boy, did those flowers take off!

I know the memories that you all have will continue to bless you, even as you now mourn his loss. I wish you and yours all the best -

Randy Ross

Hi Randy,

So nice to hear from you! Thanks for your message. He left a strong impression on everyone who met him. He was eager to go when the time came. Impatient. "Take me over! Take me over! he ordered. "I want to be at the center of things." He was at the center of things in this life and I hope he is now at the center of things beyond.

Dear Stuart, Linda, Deb and Doug and families, so sorry for your loss. Your dad was also so kind to others and I always looked forward to his visits when I worked at McGuire’s many years ago. I will carry the many memories of his handstands, harmonica playing, and sweet smile for many years to come in my heart. He was a mentor to many and will be missed. Sending prayers and hugs to you all during this time, Cathy
