    Gerard & I were co-workers & good friends at the library in the late 1990’s. We were a force to be reckoned with in shelving & maintaining control of the easy picture books section. We enjoyed going to movies (Especially Harry Potter), Renaissance Faire (we each won a stuffed pig in a game of chance, which we named “Sausage” and “Bacon”) and out to eat. Gerard was the best man at my wedding. I will carry good memories of my “G – Friend” in my heart. Condolences to Gerard’s family & friends. Rest in peace, my friend

    I worked with Gary way back in the 70s and he was always a great guy. I would see him at the library decades later still friendly and always working hard. Sorry to see him go. Condolences to his family.

Testimonials

October 22, 2015

Mike,
Words cannot adequately convey our gratitude for all you did to honor our family member and friend, Mert Fleury. Like with her husband Ray, years ago, you and your staff went above and beyond to help us through this difficult time and to give Mert a wonderful celebration of her life. Every detail was considered, all of our requests were given unfailing attention, and the little extras took our breath away. Every sad feeling and every tear was matched two-fold with feelings of gratitude and comfort because of what you did. We will be forever grateful!
The Fleury Family

David Fleury
