He was a leading light as an honorary member. He had been a member of the An Óige Mountain Rescue Team before becoming a founder of the Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team. He also served as the team secretary for several years. Gerry’s passion was Mountain Rescue and he was very active in Mountain Rescue Ireland (MRI). He had a depth of operational knowledge, loved radio's and communications. He could talk for hours about repeaters and channels. Gerry loved the medical side of the service that mountain rescue provides and was an extremely well qualified first responder. He was instrumental in bringing the Wilderness Emergency Medical Technical qualification to Ireland and was an esteemed member of the Wilderness Emergency Medical Service Instistute (WEMSi) faculty. He was a skilled mountaineer and a very active hillwalker for several years. Gerry was extremely helpful. With his trademark bushy beard and flowing locks he was impossible to miss in a group. He was well equipped – he was renowned for his heavy kit of personal gear that he always carried on the hill. He was a great asset to our team. We have all lost a dear friend and esteemed colleague.Our thoughts are with Gerry’s family and friends, the mountaineering community and his wider family of Mountain Rescue. This is a great loss to our team. Ar dheis De go raibh a h-anam - May Gerry rest in peace. A TRIBUTE TO GERRY A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy and grace. And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place. I believe in angels, The kind that heaven sends, I am surrounded by angels, But I call them friends.
