Our immediate family was started in 1953, when our parents Richard Gersley and Sally Dukes were married in 1953! They went on to have Kathi Gersley Williams in 1954, Michael Gersley in 1955, Patrick Gersley in 1959 , Timothy Gersley in 1960 and Elizabeth Gersley in 1966 and yes, I am the youngest (I had to put that in). They moved around the country (mostly the eastern side of the US) and also Panama and Puerto Rico. They were married for 61 years, a huge accomplishment for any couple!   My father is survived by his wife: Sally D. Gersley Children: Kathi Gersley Williams (Richard Williams), Michael Gersley, Patrick Gersley, Timothy Gersley and Elizabeth Gersley Special family friend, dad thought of as another son: Mark Horne Grandchildren: Heather Williams, Amy Williams, Sam Williams, Erin Gersley, Jessica Gersley, Jackie Gersley, Nicole Gersley Great Grandchildren: Ally Williams, Liam Koji   Our father was a gentle giant, with a heart of gold. He was good to our mother and good to all his children! He will be greatly missed by each and every one of us!
