Gerald loved Popi's cooking and was always so happy to have his grandchildren over to entertain. Gerald is survived by the love of his life, Penelope, with whom he shared more than 51 years of marriage; son, Max and wife, Matula; he was blessed with three beautiful grandchildren: Alexandra, Kostas and Nichole whom he adored; sister, Patsy and husband, John McAdam; brother, Melvin and wife, Roxie and many loving nieces and nephews.
