I grew up a mile from Gerry and went to school with him from kindergarten through graduating from high school. We spent many hours together and his great sense of humor and kind ways propelled our special friendship. Because I was born on August 5, 1946, he always use to rip me that I was the "Old Guy!" I worked for some years with Gerry at Howmet and we spent some happy times over the years. Several years ago in Florida, Bob Miszewski, Gerry and I had a few beers together at an outdoor bar. We laughed to tears about the stupid stuff the three of us did together growing up, it was a very special time for all of us. He was one of the greatest guys and friends I have ever known. My sincerest condolences to Linda, Mick and all of Gerry's family.
God Bless,
Flan
