So sorry to hear of Gerald’s passing. Unfortunately, the only time we got to meet, was my first trip with my Mom, Joan, Gerald’s Cornish Cousin in September 1995, a visit we never forgot. Sadly my Mom passed away in Nov 2007, but I know she would wish me to convey our deepest sympathy to Sherry and all of Gerald’s family.
God bless and may he rest in peace.
