From family and friends

To the family of Gerald Dugas, my sincere condolences to you all. I worked with Gerald at Texaco Refinery. He was always willing to help everyone who was training on his unit or shift at the vaccum pipe stills. Always friendly, happy, religeous and loved his family and the TJ Yellowjackets. He loved his job too. Was such a caring and loving husband to his wife. I am so sadden to hear about his passing but, I know he is in Heaven with the Lord God, Jesus Christ and his loving wife. My life is richer to have known and worked aith Gerald.

I remember Gerald very well. He was a good friend back when I worked with him at Texaco and taught me a lot. Gerald was a devoted Thomas Jefferson Yellow Jacket fan and never heard anyone talk but anything but praise for him as an operator and fellow man.
