His true love was stock car racing & would spend as much time as he could working on them & at the track with friends.
Those who knew Gerry thought of him as someone who would not hold back, most found this somewhat of an endearing trait about him.
He would go out of his way to help someone in need & always had an open heart. He will be greatly missed by all.
