I just learned of Gerald's passing and offer my condolences to Myrna. I worked with Gerald over 50 years ago at Retail Credit Company (later Equifax Services) in Dallas I still remember some great times with him and Darrell Shaver (also deceased in 2016). We made some deer hunts, and enjoyed each others company. Haven't seen Gerald since 1967, but still remember him fondly.
