Gerald Lamar Dillenbeck

I was so sad to hear about Uncle Ger this morning. I have so many fond memories of being young and spending time with him and Aunt Sharon. He was always such a funny guy and he had such a great sarcastic personality. He is one of a kind and will be truly missed!

We are so sorry to hear about Dad he will be missed. You all are in our thoughts Luv you

We knew something was up when we saw Gerry sell his green Chevy. Our neighborhood just lost a great guy. We enjoyed talking and sharing stories with him through the years. He was so excited to tell us that he got to go to Green Bay, home of his favorite team. We will miss him and sure glad we got to know him. Our most sincere sympathies to his family during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. :( Eddie has many great memories of Uncle Gerry as a child and he will be missed.

Larry, Shauna and family, So sorry to hear about you losing your dad. My prayers are with you.

Gerry was wonderful person. I enjoyed his company at work and an occassional lunch. My sympathies are with his family. He will be missed by all who knew him.

My fondest memories of Gerry include a lot of laughter. I loved his easy smile, contagious laugh and the gentle way he had with his grand children. I loved the care he took of his yard and gardens. I loved going out on the boat and remember well how upset he was when I caught the only fish of the day..."beginner's luck." Gerry always had a warm hug and a welcoming smile. He always made me feel like a very special part of the family. My thoughts and prayers are there with all of you. My memories of Gerry live on in my heart.

Back in the 60 s, we used to holiday in Felixstowe (before we evlntuely moved here). I can remember going on the paddle boats on the boating lake. The boat had a small bench in the middle, flanked by a brass handle on each side to turn the paddles, and control speed and direction. Your allotted slot was probably only 5, maybe 10 minutes, but it was plenty of time to generate monumental blisters on 7-year-old hands. This was enough to discourage any further visits to the lake during that particular holiday.Once we had taken up residence in Felixstowe, I seem to remember the paddle boats had gone, to be replaced by model sailing yachts and radio controlled boats. The latter being beyond my parents financial means, I settled for a simple sailing yacht, bought from the newsagent on Bent Hill (now a tattoo parlour), which I named Jules Rimet' after the World Cup Trophy. A family friend was kind enough to paint the name on the bow and the stern, much to my delight.Many a Sunday afternoon was spent watching Jules' swelling sails, as she speed back and forth across the lake.Even though the above scene is from a different decade, it still looks very familiar
