  4. Peggy, Aunt Theresa & the entire Dorich family,

    It is with such a heavy heart that I say how very sorry we are to hear about the loss of cousin Gerald. Even though we were “in-laws” I always considered him my cousin, and I think I can say he felt the same way. He had such a soft, gentle way, and that smile and laugh that made you laugh just to hear him. He was such a good guy.

    Peggy I can’t begin to imagine your pain. Aunt Theresa my heart aches for you for I do know your pain.Time will ease that I promise, but it takes time.

    He will truly be missed by Hobie and I..Much love to you all.

    We are truely sorry to hear of Gerald\’s passing. Growing up in the neighborhood with our children he will always remind us of how sweet, shy, and kind he was. never said a harsh word or caused any trouble. We have wonderful memories of Gerald. God Bless!

  6. To the family of Gerald, I was shocked to hear he had passed away when I just saw him last year in rehab for his back. We both had discussed back surgery and how it affected us. G (what I called him) was always nice to me because he was friends with my brother Tom. He was always smiling and always sweet. I feel so bad for his family and I send my deepest sympathy. So sorry, Chrissy Dalrymple

  7. I’ve known Gerald since before first grade when we lived across the “gully” from each other, Early in the summer mornings, one of us would yell the other’s name until we either came outside, or got yelled at by the other’s parent to keep quiet. We spent our days getting into trouble, teasing Juliana and Leslie, or getting picked on by Lou. All great memories. I will miss my childhood friend. My deepest condolences to his mom and siblings. God Bless
