Gerry was a great man and father in law. I will always remember him as: FAITHFUL, a great FATHER, a wonderful FRIEND, and always a FRIAR. We will miss you Da.
My deepest sympathies to the Romberg family. I have great memories of your father from when Caroline and I hung out together when we both lived in Doraville outside Atlanta. Your father was very kind and loving and a lot of fun. I lost my father earlier this year and know the pain you are all feeling. You are all in my prayers.
