To Gerhard's Family,
Roselyn and I are deeply saddened to learn of Gerhard's passing. For many years he was an important and much-loved part of the Byron Dig, our archaeological excavation in Genesee County. His sense of humor and enthusiasm were contagious, and helped to get us through some rigorous times.
Foremost in my mind is the annual wine tasting that he staged during the final week of the Dig. This was always looked forward to, and his discussion about the fine points of wines were greatly appreciated. In fact, after he had to stop participating in the Dig, we held a wine (actually, grape juice and cheese) tasting party in his name on the traditional day, and remembered what he gave to us.
Gerhard's passing leaves a hole in the fabric of our lives, but also very pleasant memories that will stay with numerous people for many, many years. Thank you,
Gerhard, for the time and the pleasure that you gave us.
Fondly,
Dick and Roselyn Laub
