It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you that Gerry passed away on Tuesday, April 7 in Fresno, CA. Gerry had a lot of friends and he was with them when he accidentally choked on some food. He was rushed to the hospital but he never regained consciousness.
Gerry loved to travel and loved his family. Gerry leaves behind his wife of over 30 years, Nirul, and his two sons.
I cannot do justice to the kindness and caring that Gerry displayed throughout his life. I will miss the friendly banter that I had with Gerry over the years. He was a good friend and I will miss him

This is very sad news. I loved his posts to this board and Gerry will be missed by every one of his friends.

Gerry and I met at an early age as we went to the same church (Sunday School). We became good friends later when we had to acolyte (light and extinguish the altar candles) at the early services. At the end of the service we delighted in smushing the candle wax well over the wicks so the two acolytes at the beginning of the late service had to stand at the altar forever while their candle lighters slowly melted the wax before the wick would light. We spent many many weekends snow skiing in Tahoe challenging all the mountains while arguing which skis were better; his Fischer or my Head skis. He was apparently right as he was a much better skier than I ever was.
RIP good buddy. I'll fill a Boda Bag with Mountain Red and drink it in your honor!

Am so sad about Gerry passing away . Such a tragic accident. Have known Gerry since I was a pompon girl and he was the halfback football player. I have many fond memories of Gerry from when we were young. Sending heartfelt sympathies to Nihru and the family. Rest in peace.
