My deepest sympathy in the passing of Gerald. Gerald’s sister, Alice, was my grandmother. My mom, Shirley Listul, spoke of Gerald and his wife often with good memories. May your family find comfort in your faith, family, and friends. Thoughts and prayers to all of you!
It was such a privilege to have met and cared for Gerald, albeit for a very short time. Knowing him will be a lasting memory for me. You never forget meeting a man of true character. I’ll remember his gentlemanly manner, his sense of humor (even in the face of adversity), and his heartfelt communication to me of how very much he appreciated the love, the care and the kindness of his loving children. I am praying for God’s comfort and peace to continue to surround your family.
To the family of Gerry; sorry for your loss. Gerry was a great person. As a young engineer he gave me a chance and I will ever be greatful. Bryan, hang in there. Curt
Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you in this time. Cherish the many wonderful memories. We are so sorry for your loss.

What a great guy! I always enjoyed visiting with Gerry when working at the engineering firms and then later on at the Pheasant Forever Banquets.
