    Gerry will truly be missed, my condolences to the Hunter family. Loved racing and talking with you. We always celebrated a good day of racing win or loose. God Bless I’ll always remember your laugh and smile.

    Gerry and I worked at UPS on and off for many years. We had a lot of good times. Gerry was the one who did the research on retirement and showed me the figures I could clear when I retired. I was not even thinking about retiring but out the door I headed thanks to Gerry. Gerry retired shortly after me and we remained friends and racing buddies. The great times we had at Route 66 with Gerry, Ellen, Bob, Kim and John and my family. Memories forever. Gerry was more adventerous at racing than I was. He would go to Kalamazoo, Indiana, Cole County, IL and let’s not forget he went to the Division 3 Champion at Indianapolis several times.
    Memories will live on forever. Goodbye my friend you will always be remembered.
