Gerry and I dated throughout our Sr year. He was a fine young man with a kind and loving heart. I'll never forget how we found a kitten by the roadside late one night. He took it in and sheltered it in his strong arms until it stopped shivering and fell asleep. He was like that. A good man. I will never forget him.
