Professor Gerald Haslam, PhD was the literary voice of our valley for over 50 years. A fervent supporter of our family and our local bookstore ever since his first book signing at our then-newly opened Marketplace store in 1997, we are truly saddened by his passing. Gerry leaves a legacy of love with his family, a bevy of memories with his many, many friends and admirers, a legacy of literature (including novels, short stories, young adult, non-fiction, biography) to his readers, and a long list of well-deserved literary awards. Our sincere condolences go out to Jan, his kids, and his grandchildren. May God's mercy rest upon your soul, Gerry.

Here's looking at you kid ... Gerry's passing had me reminiscing of his farewell to us when we closed our retail outlets. The feeling is mutual Gerry -- I and my peers will certainly miss you.
