An honest, faithful broker and friend for more than 25 years. A combination hard to find these days. I will surely miss Gerald.

Gerald was a living definition of a Christian man - devoted to His Lord, wife and family and church. He mentored many as to how a man should conduct himself. It was our privilege to have been in his life. We loved him. Go rest high, Gerald and worship your King. Boo and Lynn Richard
