1 of the "jewels" I knew for many years at the IRS. He was 1 of my best friends and always looked to him for guidance in my early years. I don't remember him not smiling. Will miss him greatly. All my best to you Rosa.

I have known and been friends with Gerry since the mid 1970s. He was such a good person and always a good friend over the years. He was a very kind and caring person and loved his family very much. I am so sorry to have learned of his death. My condolences to Rosa and the entire family. Very sad
