Kathy & Family..I just found out about Gerry's passing. It was hard to believe, with his mother passing recently. I worked with Dot at the C&O, and knew her & the family long before that. Gerry was always so sweet & considerate of everyone. I know he will be missed. My heart is with you at this sad time.

Kathy, we are so sorry for your loss. Jerry will be greatly missed by me personally and professionally. It has been a pleasure to work with the big teddy bear over the years at CCC. I was looking forward to my next visit to the plant at the end of this month and being able to spend time with him. It just wont be the same without him. Thank you for sharing your love of Disney with us. I'm sorry we can't make it tomorrow to see him on his way. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Kelli, words cannot express the sorrow I have for you and Jerry's family. I have always loved you guys even tho we don't see each other regularly. Jerry was such a good freind and neighbor. We were in the band together and we would ride our bikes to band camp in the summer which was four miles away from where we lived on Rt. 75 to Buffalo High School. I have such fond memories of all of you. Jerry and your mom and dad will be forever in my heart. Vicki

To the family of Gerald Spence: Heartfelt condolences to you in your time of need. Thought I was not fortunate enought to know your departed loved one, I have had the privilege of knowing and working with his son Nathan. I feel I must know at least part of Mr. Spence, because he will live on forever in his sons and his family. To Nathan, I am sorry the distance does not allow me to attend but I want you to know I am there in thought. So mode it Be!..KC
