His warm smile could light up any room, and his presence was always met with enthusiasm and affection. He had a remarkable ability to find happiness in every moment and shared that gift with everyone around him.

He was a dedicated father to his two children: Maria Teresa (her husband, Anthony), and Geronimo, Jr (his wife, Wilhelmina Mojet) instilling in them values of kindness, compassion, and resilience.
elevated CeBjw As a grandfather, Lolo Gerry will bring with him many cherished moments when he displayed love and affection to his apos, Anne Marguerite, Anne Magdalene, Anne Mathilde and Jerome Francis. His display of unconditional love to his grandchildren is unwavering. His grandchildren adored him, and he took immense pride in their accomplishments.
