John McKendrick says
I remember the wonderful and skilled carpentry work that Gerald did for the Tottenham Legion’s renovation. Many of the members liked to stand up at the bar rather than sit at a table and Gerald did a fabulous job of making the area beside the bar perfect for that. He showed me how he did it and he made it look easy but what he did was far beyond anything I could have done.
Gerald was a great craftsman and a great volunteer!
