Sending condolences and lots of love to Danielle and family. Pop was such a genuinely kind soul, always sharing smiles, laughter, and a little sweetness with everyone around him. He will be deeply missed, and warmly remembered.
Bob & family, My deepest sympathies go out to all of you. I first met Gerry about 45 years ago, when he, his dad, and brother, were plastering a house for builder Paul Moyer. From that point on, I saw Gerry many, many times over the years. He did plastering at my house, as well as at my son’s. He did me a huge favor and traveled to Chincoteague, VA to plaster a summer house there for me. I could always count on him and always recommended friends and clients his way. During the winter months, Gerry would either phone or stop by my office for scrapple orders. I always looked forward to hearing from him, as Bob and Gerry had the best scrapple around!
Many, many of us are going to miss this man who was always welcoming, always smiling, loved to laugh, very humble, and super reliable. Rest in peace my friend, thank you, and GOD Bless You!
