We were at sea when we received the devastating news that Gerry had passed away. Some of us were fortunate to have sailed with him on the transit from Subic Bay, Philippines to Hong Kong in January - his last voyage aboard the JOIDES Resolution and our last time to see him. Even for those who didn't know Gerry, it was clear from our outpouring of grief what a wonderful person he was and just how much he is missed by everyone at IODP. Sail on, Gerry.
Diana and Sierra - Dale and I extend our deepest sympathies to you both. Please know that if we can help in any way all you have to do is let us know. Take care.
