To The Hanlon family and friends Gerard was a mentor and a friend who I worked with for 20 hrs. He taught me a lot about patience. He' d tell me stories about the good ole days fishing , the good and the bad. And how he was so proud of the family and the gatherings they had. He loved a good feed, and the friends tha came .He appreciated life, and I know he missed the museum when he retired and we missed him. He's now in the Big Wheel House, may your cod end always be full! We have good memories and many pictures, he won't be forgotten.
