Gerry spent his life serving others and supporting his wife and children in all their endeavors. There wasn’t anything Gerry couldn’t do, fix, build or make. He enjoyed talking with others, could dance on roller skates, loved any music that had a good beat, and could kick up his heels on the dance floor. He loved to read and learn and enjoyed looking at photo books. He always wanted to learn how to tap dance. He is dancing in heaven now with Mom and fishing with Brent.

Arrangements are entrusted to Brenny Family Funeral Chapel, Crosslake.
