Although the last several years have been difficult for all of you, please take comfort in knowing that is not the Gerry we will remember. His dancing the Hora at our wedding 44 years ago next month, his “bugging” Jan about the sale items at the local Giant Eagle and Waterfront Costco when they ran into each other, and the “pregame” get together at the Northside Commons townhouse before each Steelers home game will always be the Gerry we remember. Not “May”, but his memory “Will” be for a blessing. With our deepest sympathy, Jan and Sam Seiavitch
