Beloved husband of Kathleen. Proud veteran of the United States Navy, serving his country in The Vietnam War. Gerard found great pleasure in gardening and was especially fond of his roses and his Dinnerplate Hibiscus. He was a man that treasured his family, loved to travel on cruises and could not resist a round of golf. Always a giver to his family, friends and church, he never looked to receive. A gentleman who will be missed by all who knew him.
To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, but to the happy, I am at peace and to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand, upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea – remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me. As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity – remember me. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.
