    Jo'co is right . Time is flying by. It has already been 12 years since he gave me that shirt. seems like yesterday. <br/>

    Tough day. Didn't cry that much at my Mom's funeral and I miss her dearly.

    Gave JO'Co's eulogy note to Candi and Josh...I wanted to read it at the service but I couldn't...I was too emotional.

    For pictures of Jerry's life, including some Skybox shots...go to www.walgreens.com

    Go to view pictures. Username is geraldglawrence@yahoo.com (don't forget the middle g) and password is lawrence1.

    You can download them or even make yourself a G-Man coffee mug. As VP Of Marketing for G By The Dome Enterprises I encourage everyone to purchase.

    If JO'Co doesn't mind could you post his Eulogy here?

    I snagged this off the Walgreens site, it was great going through the slide show, you certainly came away with the sense of the family man that Gerry was, pictures of him with Candi, babies, kids, and buddies, when he was really young, then Gerry at just about every age, great stroll down memory lane. I'll see if I can find some old photos myself.

    From L-R it's Malloy, Stephen Finn, Gerry, JO'Co and TOK

    I know I've been told before but I've forgotten, but how did you (Stu) and Gerry get to know one another? Prodigy? I wonder if Gerry got to know Stephen that way as well.

    Thank you Stu. I don't think that I could have read it out loud either. It was from the heart and all of you have my permission to post it, copy it or reproduce it anywhere you want.

    .........JO'Co

    OK, I thought maybe JO'Co had another gem he sent to you. But what he posted here would be pretty hard to beat. The man has a way with words.

    I admit Jim has a way with words. wish he would write about all out adventures but then I would have to put a disclaimer that I was not responsible for all the crisis's just a few of them... I have another picture in the Senior parking lot It is really old. I will have joco try and scan it on the system I have the same of the other two you posted Brian and I must have been taking the same pix's oh and Jim sent you (terry) a note on the unkown we think his name is Jerry lives in grand terrace ca he was the co @ the Navy base in San Diego, Terry when you were there but we cant remember his last name. He was part of old prodigy dont think he went to skybox when we changed over .It drove us crazy last night trying to figure it out. We think he only went to this one game w/ us :wink:

    This is just terrible. I've been silently watching this since it was posted. I've really nothing to say or add of any merit.

    Great, great man.

    Also, can we get NON-drunk pictures of me sometime? I know you'll have to act quick in order to do so but now with Gerry gone, I can't be the only one with 'liquid eyeballs' in public forums now.. come on kids. ;)
