Gerald L. Roush

My condolences to you and your family on your loss. I never had the chance to meet your Dad but have certainly heard of him and seen some of his work. He will be missed!

 

Chris,

I am very sad to hear of this, my condolences to you and all of his family.....

Truly a wealth of knowledge on the history of our cars, he will be missed.....Rest In Peace.

Sincerely,

My prayers and well wishes and to you and your family Chris. God bless.

 

It's hard to be a tifosi and not be familiar with your dads work. My condolences.

 

RIP. Met him at Cavallino a couple of times. I was a subscriber and found my car listed there when I bought it.

Sorry for your loss.

 

Chris

I am very sorry to hear that your Dad is no longer with us. He was a very respected member of the Ferrari community and, what is more important, a very respected member of the human community.

I subscribed to the Ferrari Market Letter for many years and even spoke to him on the phone. While I enjoyed the market information, the articles that he wrote for the Letter were the main attraction for me.

Would you consider making the biography that you intend to write available here or, perhaps, on your website? I no longer maintain a subscription to the Market Letter, but would like to know Gerald's story.

Chris, so very sorry to hear this sad news. Your dad lives on in the hearts of so many people.

Respectfully,

Hank

 

Tremendous loss to the Ferrari community.....my sincerest condolences for you and for the rest of his family.

I'm so glad that you will be carrying forward the tradition he created. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy.

 

This is terrible news. I had met your father on serveral occasions and he was a true gentleman. He had a passion for Ferrari's that can not be replaced. My best thoughts for your family.

My condolences to you and your family.

 

Sorry to hear of this.

 

Chris,

My sincerest condolences to you and the family. Please pass along my regards to your mother.

Gerry and I crossed paths numerous times since the earliest days of FML. We had some interesting discussions on why he did not do concours judging in spite of having the requisite knowledge.

Some Gerry tidbits:

1. He was educated as a historian. I believe that this drove him to be more cautious on provenance than others may have been back in the day.

2. While he was at FAF, I have been told, he was documenting the F-cars as they were received with serial numbers and running variations.

3. I think one of the first items that brought Gerry to my attention was the early attempts at getting the 250LM serial numbers and histories straight. If my recollection is right this was published by the UK FOC in the mid 1970s.

My condolences.

 

My condolences your family and friends.

 

My condolences to you and your family Chris.

 

I knew your Dad and spent some very interesting evenings with him at various events. His contributions to the Ferrari world are well known. He will be missed.

Rest in peace Gerald.

 

Chris - I am crushed to hear this news, and just shared it w/ my parents who have been friends w/ your folks and the Boes for over 30 years. Our most heartfelt condolences are with you and your mother at this time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything at all.

I was saddened by the news I received from Sportscar Market that Gerald Roush passed today. I can attribute most of my Ferrari knowledge to his publication, and his impact on our hobby was tremendous. The few times I met him he was kind, gregarious, and always had time to chat.

He will be missed. RIP, Mr. Roush.

A great loss to the Ferrari community- RIP

 

Very sorry to hear of your loss.

I worked on a couple of projects over the years with your dad and he was genuinely a very nice guy.

My condolences to you and your family.

Best of luck continuing in his tradition with FML.

Chris,

I'm stunned. Your father helped me research my car's history and was very kind and patient in his dealings with me.

My condolences to you and your family.

Regards,

I am so sorry for your loss.

Gerald helped me out when I first bought my ferrari, getting me info on prior owners, etc. He was a really nice guy.

Rest In Peace.
