Note to Gerry's Wife

June 1, 2019

Dear Arlene and Family,

Those listed below are Gerry’s Mendel friends who specifically asked that their condolences be expressed to you. Many of them enjoyed spending time with him at the annual golf outing and other events. Others had not seen Gerry in a long time but cherished his friendship. I know they all agree that Gerry was a True Mendel Gentleman.
