While you don't know me, I just wanted to write and say that I had many dealings with Gerry when I worked in the disability sector back in the 2000s and I am very sorry to hear of his death. Gerry was a brilliant advocate for people with disabilities: kind, funny, practical - a real asset to any discussion who could make his point but do it in a way that motivated you to act. My sincere sympathy to you and, while I know that no words can comfort right now, I feel I owe it to him to say what a difference he made.
So sorry for your loss Sandra ❤️
