Gerald came from humble beginnings, but carved his own path and was loved and admired by all that knew him. He worked hard for everything he had and was always willing to help those in need. He made friends easily and loved to joke and tease. Heaven gained new entertainment. Gerald enjoyed working his land and cattle. He deeply loved God and his family. He has left us in body, but will always ride along beside us.
