Gerry had a tremendous amount of love to give. He truly cared about people and found joy in helping others. He had a very inquisitive and creative mind which led to extensive research to find the next greatest invention to help others. Gerry’s passion & dream was to build affordable housing for those in need. We are sure he is continuing to spread his love for others in Heaven pitching his next great idea.

Forever in our hearts and memories. We love you GG and we will see you again at that great reunion in Heaven. Thank you for always being there for our family and for the many smiles we shared along the way.
I remember the first time I met Gerry when he came to visit Ashley in LA. in 1999.
I had the pleasure of getting to know him, hanging out for several hours while Ashley was doing something. Afterwords, I thought to myself, what a chill cool cat. And a kindhearted person. I’m sure Gerry will be missed by many.
Gerry, Thank you for your unwavering support of my dreams and goals throughout the years. I will fondly remember the little things that made you and I laugh till we cried when we were together. Please hold a spot for me in heaven until I get there. In the meantime, I will work hard to achieve those goals because I know you’ll be watching. I love you, Gerry. Rest in God’s love and peace. You’ve earned it.
♥️♥️♥️

Gerry would bring me lunch sometimes and always told me to be safe when we parted ways. He was funny and looked out for others. We definitely miss him, his purple shirts and Jean jacket.
