So many fond memories. As a neighbor, friend, and dear brother in Christ , Gerard was one of the most fascinating individuals that I have ever met. We planned together, laughed together, and spent many hours praying together. I will be looking forward to seeing him again when it is my turn to step over into eternity.

I think Mr. V was the kindest and only true gentleman I have ever known. He was retained as the architect when the bldg. for the restaurant was being transformed. Later he was quite a frequent diner. I came to know him, and some of his family, over the years.
One day he came for lunch and he told me he had a dream that I served him espresso and ate the accompanying lemon twist. It was funny. The next time he came in and ordered the espresso after his meal I served it w/o the lemon twist and when he asked me where it was I pulled it out of my mouth! We laughed from then on about it. What fun he was! And Mrs. V too!
Condolences to the family and please hold your memories forever.

I have fond memories of Gerard and Willy of their time in Canon City and building their home on a chunk of the Nash Ranch. Gerard would often visit my parents and visa versa. What a fun, intelligent person to be around. Always a smile and kind word for a person or a situation. May all the great memories help Willy and family through a difficult time.
