    • CandleYou were his heart! He was so very proud of the woman you have become. Gerard told me, so many times, how grateful he is for you.
      He was so in awe of being the dad of three beautiful daughters!
      I loved your dear father like my own brother. We shared so many memories of our “St. Anthony’s”eight years together. Gerard was a good Christian man. He was my friend and I will miss him! ❤️

  5. CandleMr. Corona… I remember walking and talking with you even when it was just for a little bit. He enjoyed his family so much. He always wore his little cap and shared a sweet smile whenever he saw me. Thank you for giving me Linda. We’ll always remember and celebrate you. Such a strong and courageous man!

  6. CandleGerry, I’ll never forget how we met when I was 15 and you were only 21 and working at Kinney Shoes on E 14th Street in Oakland. I worked at Chucks 1/4 Lb and went to JC Fremont High School! You pursued your goals and dreams, raised a fine family and lived a full, prosperous, productive life. A well-lived life. I was lucky to have spent time with you and knew you for 55 years. We were close friends. I miss you. Have fun in heaven. Maybe you can convince the Traitor Raiders to wise up..and I know you’ll be playing Elvis records and spend all your time watching football…when you aren’t keeping an eye on your loved ones. I love you Gerry.

  7. CandleDear Gerard, You will always in my heart, I can’t stop what the lord has planned for you, but I know you are with him now. Rest in peace my darling. Love you always!.
