My condolences to LeAnna and the family. Gerald was like another Uncle to me being a neighbor a few doors down from the house since I was young. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I was a (talker) and always had some good words to say and would make you laugh with the greatest smile. He is in a better place and will never be forgotten. I am sure he will say Hi my Momma Anita in Heaven. In Love, Raymond Fountain II and The Hyche and Fountain Family
