Dear Jennie & family, Sending our deepest sympathy & love to you all at Gerry's passing. So many great memories of Kippenberger Ave, at the clinic & the legendary Christmas parties at your home. We had a sailing get together before Christmas & watched a DVD of the match racing days at the Waimakariri, Gerry's commentary a highlight. He could have given Pete Montgomery a run for his money !

Dear Jennie and family,

Our whole family were sad to hear that Gerry has passed away. We all remember him with great affection. He was a leader in in many Rangiora communities for some decades. He understood human frailty especially in other . I still use his catch phrase " all men (and women) have feet of clay ". You can look back on a good life together punctuated by laughter and sadness. Janettte and John Brandts Giesen

Our hearts go out to you Jennie and your family over the loss of Gerry. He was a wonderful man, much loved by everyone.

We look forward to a catch up with you when possible. X

It was a honour and privilege to represent Gerry's time in Rangiora, along with Bruce, Mary & Dougal, at Gerry's requiem. What a man he was, in the 30+ years here in our community veterinarian, family role model, Council member, rugby coach, leader in the local Catholic Church, orator, Raumati tennis group the list goes on! Along with Jennie and a fine bunch of children, they were shining lights in participation and serving our community. Kua kinga tethi totara a totara has fallen
