We will miss his wit and humor and cherish the many memories made throughout 50+ years Gerald was a friend to anyone who crossed his path
May you hit them long and straight on that beautiful golf club that now has you as a member
A lifelong friend to our family. He was more a brother than a friend. He will be missed by so many. He was noted for his version of “Rocking Robin”. Now sing for all our loved ones in heaven. Will miss you greatly.
Love, Jeannie Melton Chastain, Stephanie Melton Quarles, Buddy Melton and Pat Melton Faglier.
We are so sorry for your loss. We are keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Glenda and Tommy VanDeGriek
My deepest sympathy to the family. I enjoyed golf with Gerald many times and will have lasting memories of those good times.
