Last Saturday, members of the St. Joseph Ridge Lions Club stood together to honor our friend and fellow Lion, Al Gerke.
Al was the heart and soul of our club and a dedicated servant to our community.
Al was a moral compass for our club, leading through his kindness, humility, integrity, and unwavering commitment to serving others. His example helped shape the character of the St. Joseph Ridge Lions Club and inspired those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
As we stood together, we were reminded that while we have lost a remarkable Lion, his legacy of service, compassion, and fellowship will continue to guide us. The greatest way we can honor Al is to carry forward the values he lived every day.
Thank you, Al, for your friendship, your leadership, and your years of selfless service. You will forever be a part of the St. Joseph Ridge Lions Club family and will be deeply missed.
