He was also an avidfisherman although he didnít have as many chances to go fishing in the last few years. Gerry survived a bout with cancer when he was 90 having a large tumour removed from his neck and a large skin and muscle graft taken from his back amazing his doctors with his resilience and by how quickly he got up and about after a 10 hour surgery.
