MY FRIEND AND CO-WORKER. ONLY HAD ONE FAULT, HE WAS A YANKEE FAN.Richard Wilson
Gerard and I Richard Wilson were good friends, I met Jerry when my family moved to North Springfield. He loved to take pictures it seems to me his camera hung around his neck 24hours a day. Some times we would go fishing together and and some times we would just hang out. Jerry was a quiet soul and it is truly a great honor for me to say a few words about this man who now works in the presence of the great king and his host of Angels. You are loved my dear friend and certainly left a hole down here that no one will ever be able to fill. Travel well.

After joining this wed site I was very sad to see that Gerard had passed away. He was a good friend. We worked together in the cutter shop at Fellows Gear Shaper for awhile. We had many good times traveling around in his Volkswagen Beatle Bug, especially in the winter because it went anywhere, our trips to the Hampton Manner in New York to dance with the chicks and listen to good bands. I stayed with him during our 25th reunion and last saw him several years ago when I took my wife to Vermont on Vacation. Rest in peace my friend for you are in the hands of God.
