Vicky I am so sorry and can only imagine your overwhelming grief in the loss of your child. Whatever happened, it was way too soon, but you know that God only takes the very best and we are not to ask why. I feel like I watched Gerry grow up by working with you for so many years. It seems like only yesterday. Please take care of yourself and family and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
My heartfelt condolences to the Thompson family. Gerry was a dear friend whose smile and sense of humor won't soon be forgotten. I had the privilege of meeting Gerry air racing. Our friendship grew and time was spent hunting and having fun any time the opportunity arose. I will miss Gerry dearly and keep his entire family in my thoughts and prayers.
Gerry will be greatly missed by me as he was one of my favorite people I have ever met. He was a wonderful person to be with as well as his complete family. I will truly miss him and cherish the memories we had as we worked and joked together..God will be with him, as he was that kind of a person.. Sorry for our loss

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Gerry since 2002. I have been working on PT6 engines since 1969. I worked for an airline and have known many folks in this field. Gerry was one of the most knowledgeable PT6 engine experts that I have ever ran across. We will surely miss him, not only as a PT6 expert, but as a very fine individual. Please accept our condolences.
Thinking and Praying for you guys. I'm so sorry for you loss.
Vicky I am truly sorry for the loss of your sweet Gerry. I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine the emptiness you are feeling. I never met Gerry but I visit CrestPark almost daily to visit my mother. Susan's beautiful smile is there to greet me when I enter. We've gotten to be really close and what causes her pain saddens me tremendously. Gerry had to be a wonderful man to have chosen her. I'll keep all of you in my prayers
OUR LITTLE WORLD LOST A WONDEFUL MAN AND HEAVEN GAINED A PIECE OF OUR HEARTS - GERRY IS LOVED BY SO MANY NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS THE SORROW IN OUR HEARTS. LOVED ALWAYS AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.
I am Jean McMillen's pastor. Even though I do not know any of the family besides Jean, my heart is broken for you. I pray the Holy Spirit comfort you especially now and in the weeks months and even years ahead in your grief.
Susan, Danny, Angie, Rex, Glenda, & Family ... I cannot image losing son or daughter. I almost lost Shawn years ago when he and Peter were run over by a drunk driver. My heart goes out to you all. Shawn and Peter have lost a great friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know Gerry very well. Saw him several times when his twin boys and my granddaughter had school activities together. I know there will just be a terrible void in the lives of those close to him and it will take a very very long time to fill it if ever. God bless you all.
My heart is broke for you all . May God Bless you, help you find some peace .
May all your precious memories and love help keep you in this time of sorrow. I am so sorry for your loss and the pain that you are going through. My love and prayers are with you all.

What a wonderful, precious man who was taken from us too soon. I was proud to know him, and most of all that I could call him part of my family. My beloved step-son, who I love dearly and he was so kind and loving to me. I will miss that devilish twinkle in his eyes, and that sweet smile... I love you always Gerry, I know you and Grandpa T are soaring in Heaven in your airplanes.....
So sorry I know words can not bring much comfort at a time like this but know Y'all have friends who will be there any time to help how ever needed or to just listen and pray.

So very sorry for your loss.
