All the best Buddy, I am sure someones gotta waiting for you

We are very sad to learn of Gerry's departure from this Earthly plane -- Gerald was a memorable man for sure, with his witty East Coast humour, and sincere nature. He was a regular presence (and customer) at the local Country Style coffee shop (located very close to Midland Gardens nursing home). I remember Gerry used to drop by with his then-lady friend, Irma, for a coffee and light lunch or snack -- that was a very amusing time for them and others who chatted with them!
We Cliffsiders shall miss Gerry very much, but we wish him well in Heaven!
Our sincere condolences to his daughters, grandchildren, other family and friends.
With blessings,
Roslyn and Jack

Lisa and Lori,
I know we don't know each other well, but I wanted to express my condolences on the passing of your father, my Uncle Gerald. I only met him a few times but his funny stories and stories of him from my mom, Marg, and Aunt Betty Bennett are forever etched on all of our minds. We are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
