On May 20, 2010, an early morning gentle gust of wind blew through the window behind him, and left. He then took his last breath. Surely, said our son, Julian, weeping, the angels came to take his spirit away.

Gerald passed on to the next part of his journey, in peace and at home, as was his wish, on this magnificent spring morning, his favourite season, with the birds chirping and the early morning light shining on him, with his loved ones holding and hugging him.

His dream was to travel the world in springtime, starting here in springtime and travelling to places that were spring, then ending up home in springtime. His whole year would be Spring. So, his dream has been fulfilled. He will be eternally in spring time.
