I'm only here on earth today because I listen to you 34 years ago.
Thank you.
Pat and the boys, the words escape me to tell you how great a person he was.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

Some 50+ years ago while in college I had the good fortune to work along side Gerry on the Circle Line Yachts. With his terrific attitude and lively brogue, which thank God he never lost, one is easily reminded what a wonderful man he was.
About twenty years ago I was sitting with him on a Lake Michigan beach while his grandson was playing too close to an idling jet ski. Whereas I would have said something along the lines of 'Hey! get away from there', Gerry said to his grandson with his lovely brogue, "You don't want to be doing that". I smiled to myself as his grandson thought he wasn't being admonished but simply was receiving guidance from…
On our first walk on the beach at Del Mar we met Gerry sitting on a chair watching a fishing rod and from that day on we became fishing buddies for the next 10 years. Lots of laughs and good times. We will miss him dearly. Our deepest sympathy to Patricia and family. Mario and Kathy Interrante
