Times-Standard Online - Obituaries It was a touching Memorial today. You ever know one of those guys that nobody says anything bad about? Gerry was that guy. A lot of people may not know who he was, but if you were at any sporting event in Humboldt County, most likely you had seen him. He played on my basketball team years back with his brother Scott. He grew up in Myrtletown and hung around Garrett Anderson and Chris Ambrosini. He leaves behind a wife and 2 kids. Way too young to be passing on.
I was at Gerry's memorial too. I don't think I've ever laughed so much at a memorial, and laughing is the best way to remember someone. Gerry always was so excited to see my youngest son at the games, and Gerry always had a possitive word to say to my oldest son. Humboldt lost one of it's most enthusiastic fans!
ReplyDeleteJerry was a great guy. I was stunned. Nick (my son) and his son played on the same baseball team – my husband Bobby and Nick attended the memorial at Redwood Fields today. What a heartbreaker. Jerry was always the sweetest, funniest, most fun guy around at the fields. I'll really miss his stories about everyone.

ReplyDeleteCondolences for your friend Richard, but the above quote troubles me. Anyone who gets involved in politics is bound to be hated by somebody. I'm not sure living a life of such passivity that no one ever gets offended is exactly a worthy goal.
This post was for Gerry Radford.
ReplyDeleteAre you deleting posts again Richard? How sad. We expect more of you. I'm sure Gerry wouldn't disagree.
