Gerald was a member of Mount Harmony Baptist Church. He looked forward to
spending time outdoors hunting and fishing. Gerald had a swimming pool
installed when his first grandbaby, Brooke, was two years old. He enjoyed
swimming with all his grandchildren every summer. Gerald was an avid
Razorback basketball fan. Family will always remember the once in a lifetime trip
to the National Championship Game in 1994. Gerald anxiously waited for the
newspaper to be delivered each day so he could work the crossword puzzle, as he
felt those were more difficult than ones in puzzle books.
