Our prayers n thoughts are with your family. Gerry is a wonderful n kind man.
I am so happy to have known Gerry, even if I did not know him well. It was obvious he loved his wife and family very much and it is so good to know he met three grandsons that are a legacy for him as are his sons, two of which have also proved to be good dads like he was. My heart is with all of the Williams family and especially to Sherry, a great friend. I hope that many good memories sustain you along with the love you share with family and friends. With Love, Elisabeth
Our love and prayers are with you in this time of loss. We are so very glad to have known Gerry. It is such a blessing that you and he were able to spend some time with Jeff, Kathleen and the boys.
May the Lord enfold you in His Love and bring some comfort to you in your sorrow.
God Speed Gerry! I’ve known you for many many years but really never got to know you well. My mistake! Rest now my friend. I will see you on the other side one day. My condolences to Sherry and the kids and his extended family.
My memories and thoughts are with you. Only sorry that we’re so far away in time and distance.
Sherry, I was so sorry to read the sad news. We never seem to have enough time with our loved ones. I will keep you close to my heart during these difficult times. Jan

hey guys I’ve been watching your edvios for a good while now and I can’t get past the way you never show the watches on camera, you only seem to show the watches by way of publicity shots. If you have the watches right there,why don’t you ever show us? Let us see the watches on camera,on your wrists,under normal conditions instead of just in 2-D promotional photographs. Thanks.
