Gerard was an educator at heart and in life. He was kind and witty, and always had time to answer a question or solve a problem, no matter how small. A lover of books and soccer, Gerard could often be found with his nose buried in a mystery novel or enjoying a match. Gerard was a seeker of knowledge and seeker of Christ, and continually encouraged his progeny to do the same. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at rest awaiting his creator soon coming.
