Gerald loved to be outside. He was always busy and loved to work in one of the many gardens he planted over the years. He loved to share with others and was always generous with a joke, a tall tale, or a prank. However, his greatest generosity was illustrated in the bushels of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggs he readily handed out to his family and friends.
Gerald was a devoted Christian, receiving Christ as his Savior at an early age. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Macks Creek at the time of his passing.
Memorial donations may be made to First Baptist Church of Macks Creek or Kansas City Hospice House and left at the church.
