Gerald was an avid sportsman. He loved attending local baseball, basketball and football high school games.

While serving in the Army, he participated in a men’s baseball league. He loved to golf and was also a member of several bowling leagues and golf leagues throughout the years.

After retiring he found great joy in gardening and woodworking. He prided himself in refurbishing old furniture that he would pick up at local auctions and flea markets.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making a memorial contribution in his honor to the Alzheimer’s Association.
