Gerry was a great man and to say he will be missed is an understatment. He was an Engineer's Engineer. We all hoped to be as smart and concise as he was with his insight into technical problems. He was excellent at reading people and understood everyone, probably better that they did themselves. I was fortunate enough to meet Gerry and for that I am ever grateful. He was a kind, sweet, fun loving person and I am lucky enough to say a "Friend."
