My deepest condolences to Anne, Lynda & Marsha.
Lynda and Marsha,
My condolences to both of you and your mom on the loss of your father.
Gerry was a true Mensch and patriot and a role model for all
Dear Anne, Lynda and Marsha,
So sorry I was unable to attend the funeral. My deepest sympathy to you all. May he rest in peace. Jerry was such a good friend to me. He was the first friend I made when I moved to Providence from Connecticut and I will always think of him and all of you.

Our deepest sympathies. We were ofc planning to be with you today but it seemed too much for my mom this am. We just watched the beautiful tribute to Jerry online with my mom. Jeff and I didn’t want her to be alone when watching. We’ll see you soon. Love to all.
My condolences to Anne and her family. It was an honor to serve in the Jewish War Veterans with Gerry. A Patriot who gave of himself to serve others.
