On September 10, Fr. Frank Kehres relayed to us that Fr. Ger was hospitalized at Mercy St. Anne's Hospital in Toledo, OH, with serious kidney issues. Needless to say, this news shocked many of us.
Classmates responded with prayers and concern. Ron Langhals and Jack Park visited with Ger at Mercy St. Anne's and shared their comments with the rest of us. Ed Pasterick, Mike Geraghty, Fr. Jim Koenigsfeld, and Len Zuza shared their thoughts and prayers through emails. Don Wampach echoed the theme, "We are family!" Likely other classmates, whom I have not heard about as of this posting, also extended their support to Ger.
Ger is back home now, his apartment in Perrysburg, OH. He is receiving dialysis three times a week - Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
I've spoken with Ger twice this week in making arrangements to pick him up and bring him to Sandusky, OH, on Sunday for our class reunion. He plans to stay over night in Sandusky and to return to his home sometime on Monday.
