I was fortunate enough to know Gerry and 1n the early 90's when I was selling some cards to finace grad school we transacted some business. In fact it was him that My Dad and I sold our 1934 Goudey and 1940 playball sets. I dont think we would have sold those sets at that time to anyone else but we knew Gerry would enjoy and care for them. Gerry wrote a letter of recomendation for me to grad school and went out of his way to help me inside and outside the hobby. Last week I came accross a recipt Gerry had given me I put it aside and am glad I did not through it away. I have been away from the hobby for some time and at the last Philly show someone mentioned that Gerry was no longer collecting. A true gentelman and his passing is a loss to everyone who ever met him.
