Ken:
Cyndi and I are so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you, we will keep you and your family in our prayers during this difficult time.
I grew up near Gerry and would stop by when he was working on his Willy’s race truck. He was done racing and I helped him with putting
in an engine in so he could drive it on the street. He was a wealth of knowledge and helped me with advice working on my vehicles.
He was a great guy and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was an original Hot Rod Racer!
May he Rest in Peace.
