Sukema Butler remembers Gerry in this illustrated article published in the Lapidus Scotland newsletter.

“Gerry’s work, as a poet and artist, was concerned with healing, justice, and the practice of radical kindness. He touched so many lives, as friend, mentor, encourager, and exemplar of the true good life, embodiment of the dharma gadelica.”

Alec Finlay & Ken Cockburn remember Gerry in this renga.
