May you Rest In Peace my friend. My very first job was working for Jerry at Bolduc pharmacy. I was in high school it was 1983-84. I have thought back on those wonderful memories often over the last almost 40 years. I can hear his laugh as I write this and see that amazing smile, that always reached his eyes. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Pat and Family
Not sure if you remember us. We were neighbors on Emerson Avenue in Pittsfield in the early 70's. A large group of young families moved there then. Al joins me in offering our deepest sympathy on your loss of Gerry. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. Al and I moved to the HH area after retirement.
