To a good friend and a generous man. I will always remember him
feeding the men at Oxford Textile. We had a good time working
together. I will always cherish those times. My condolences go
out to his wife and family.

To a man I never met. My son met
you and he liked your company. What I can tell about him, is by
knowing his daughter, Sheri. She is very kind and has a great
sense of humor. Sheri is fun to be around and she's always there
if you need her. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the
tree. I'm sure that she has the best of her Mom and Dad in her
to carry for always. She is living proof of their lives. Sheri
is really the only person that I know from his immediate family.
I'm sure that they carry the same great ingredients that their
parents blessed them with. With Gerald gone there will be an absence
that will always be there. But, just think the Eldridge family
has another guardian angel to watch over them. God speed to "The
Greatest Man I never knew" God Bless! My condolences to the
whole family.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. I knew 'Jerry' through
my husband, the late Bill Kinney. I also know his son, Dale.
God bless.
In sympathy,

Papa Gerry, I'm always gonna remember those hot fun days we had
mowing grass, playing in the garden, working on the cars, and
your van, drinking beer, listening to old 50's music and guessing
what singer it was on the radio. There is this one special moment
that I will never forget, It's when we both were trying to get
rid of the bees in the yard and we were running around the house
and yard from the bees. It was so funny I will never forget the
laughing look on your face!
I will never forget you,

Papa Gerry, I can't express enough on how much I'll miss you.
There is an emptiness in our family forever. My mom was very happy
when she met you. She told me she waited 50 years to find Mr.
Right. I'll miss all the cooking you did, the harmonica playing,
and your silly sense of humor. I love you like a father, and I'm
glad that you married my mother! I'll miss you always, and love
you always. Sadie loves her Papa Gerry too. God bless you,
Your step-daughter, Chrissy
and step-granddaughter Sadie

He will live forever in my heart and in my memory. He will never be forgotten. My heart's prayer is that he has recieved Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, and that he is now in Heaven.
