I remember you as such a kind man to me when I was a child. Even after all these years, I recognized you right away in this photo. May you rest in peace. May God surround your family with comfort, strength, and peace during this time. My condolences.

Sorry to have heard about Gerry passing. I remember my dad always talking about what a Good guy and great guy he was. He enjoyed his company very much. They rode The LIRR together and had plenty of time to hang out.. Every time he came up the block, my father and Gerry would always rip each other up with jokes. Every year he would march in the memorial Day parade on Northern Boulevard and I would scream out his name over and over again I will never forget his smiling happy face.. I know every year I watch the parade I will pay tribute to him and. I will never forget him he will be missed.
Planning ahead is prudent. Call us now.
