I will always remember Gerald for the smile that he had and his gracious spirit. He always asked me how I was doing with sincerity when I lived in Stalnaker Hall and whenever I saw him elsewhere. Your kindness will surely be missed, Gerald.

Gerald always remembered my name. He probably knew thousands of students in my time at WVU. But, even after 4 years, he's always call me by my name and say hello. Gerald was one of those people that made everyone feel at home, and that their time genuinely mattered to him. I'm really proud to have known Gerald, and blessed to have had him a part of my time at WVU.
Montani Semper Liberi, Gerald.

Dear Lewis family,
I was so, so sad to hear about Gerald's passing. He was a wonderful man, and I remember him well, and fondly. He was in my mother's art classes at Morgantown Junior High; she loved to reminisced about her favorite students, and Gerald's name came up often. She remembered him as kind, honest and generous-spirited, and I remember him the same way. I hope you find consolation in the memories of his life, and many the people he touched with his wonderful spirit.
With deep sympathy,
Susan Tomasky

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Gerald. My condolences go out to the Lewis family. Gerald was a great referee/official and all around good guy. You could always count on a fair, well officiated game when Gerald came on the court/field. RIP.

Gerald was such a fine person with a real sense of giving. knowing him as a colleague at VCMHC and as a hero to my children who have long grown up and are coaching children themselves, his spirit certainly lives in our hearts. sad days for all of us who loved you!! Gods love to your family.

God gained an Angel.....my husband and I both knew him...Leo worked with him at Boparc (especially the roller rink) and I remember going to baseball and basketball games in the 80s to watch him ref when my brother played. Since Gerald walked everywhere, when my brother and I were little and in the car with my parents, we would always say "look, there's Gerald", they would beep and he would look up as we were waving to him and he would wave back and give a huge smile. In recent years, I would see him regularly at Giant Eagle and always stop by and chat. My goodness, I will miss you Gerald. See you in Heaven....

Whether umpiring games with Gerald at First Ward Ball Park in the seventies or seeing him over town from time to time in the eighties or more recently at Giant Eagle. Gerald was the same person. Always a smile and a handshake and never an unkind word about anyone. Gerald was the best.

I wanted you all to know how very sad I am to hear of Gerald's passing. He will be missed. His nearly inexhaustible, infectious smile and quick wit served him well for all of his years playing for our softball team, Honest Abe's Used Cars, and in all of the officiating that he did, particularly when it came to the children.
I greatly enjoyed playing softball with him and my son always brightened up greatly whenever he saw or heard Gerald because he had been around Gerald both at our games and while my son played football in the youth league. He enthusiastically engaged Gerald in conversation and that comes from him knowing deep inside how genuine Gerald was when it came to children.
We will miss him. I cannot attend the funeral but I will have my church, Jones United Methodist Church, to pray for him and for all of you as well.

My dear friend,
We have known each other and worked together many, many years. It was always nice to see your friendly face and to give you a ride once in a while. I count myself lucky to have known you and learned much of my own compassion for people through you. We have lost a shining star in you Gerald but you are in a much better place for it.....

I am so sorry to hear of Gerald's passing. He was a wonderful person and "one of a kind." I met Gerald 40 some yrs. ago when he went to MJHS with my sister (Mary McIntryre) Gerald never knew a stranger and always greeted me with the biggest warmest smile while making me laugh at the same time. Gerald would share with me how my sister was now in Heaven making everyone laugh as she did while she was here in this life....you two are now laughing together again!! I will miss your greeting me at Giant Eagle. May God Bless You and Rest in Peach!! Thought & Prayers ... Billie Jo McIntyre.....Osecky

Condolences to family: Gerald was a true friend who has left us too early and will be deeply missed by all. Always smiling and had a good word for friend and stranger alike.
Doubt there was anybody Gerald didn't get along with. Goodbye old friend and now you will brighten the heavens as you did the earth.

Gerald was a wonderful man. I met him seven years ago and we became fast friends. He was always cheerful and happy. He may have had bad days, but he never showed that he did.
He was a gift that left us to soon. I wish I had known him longer than I did. I feel privileged and honored to have known him.
