    Oh wow, rest in peace to Gerry.. was he not very close friends with many on here?

    Got damn. Had some interactions what felt alike an eternity ago, but can't say I remember specifics. Sad to see him gone. Hope his friends and family are holding up.

    Gerry was a true Mensch and had a great understanding of basketball. The term "old school" gets tossed around too often sometimes, but Gerry was old school and he always brought his A game. RIP Gerry! Love ya Baby!!

    I guess I missed this one. So sad. Gerry was a great guy and part of the original NOLA hornets team. He was decently active here and all over the radio. Great guy. RIP
