Gerald loved gospel singing.You could always find him on a Sunday afternoon at a gospel singing. Singing had deep roots in his family. Whenever there was a family get-together at his parents home you did not leave until the family had gathered around the piano for a family singing.
I know, I was there.
Gerald could also tell you hair raising stories about his time serving in WWII.
