Gerry was one of my best friends dating back to over 45 years back. Until last  week, we have been  corresponding at least twice a month. He and his wife came to participate in  our family events,  like my daughter's wedding. I  was expecting he would write  ;  my " share a memory " since I am few years older  than him. In  my  business  problems  ; he was always timely to offer both solutions and consolations. For many years he would prefer not to drive : e.g : from Texas to New Mexico  he was my car companion and we shared our experiences for over 10 hrs. I am wondering going  forward,   how  my life will go forward , since there is big vacuum.  Farewell Gerry, until we unite again !
