My condolences to the family. We only met a few times but he was always so genuine and kind. So sorry for you loss.
Klynt Mynar and I send our condolences. While I worked at Bar None, Gerald was always telling everyone about his latest hunt. He passed that love of hunting onto Millie as well. When I went to high school with her she had the same level of excitement, telling us about her hunting trips with her dad as I did talking about my latest barrel race. Y’all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Craig and I loved eating yours and Gerald’s food at the Rusty Star. He knew how to smoke the best meat, and you can make the best sides too. Thank you for blessing us with your cooking talents! We are praying for you. God’s strength, comfort, and peace-Craig and Dayna Robinson “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Thank you for your support, prayers and kind words.
