Golden Gloves competition, Gerald turned pro in the same year. His

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Jeff Linenfelser,
Gerald is having some much needed repairs done on his home!
Jeff,
an amatuer boxing promoter and handyman extraordinaire, along
with various businesses in the Freeport area, have donated
their time and materials to do some long overdue and much
needed work to Gerald's home after reading an article at Kronkgym.com
that mentioned Gerald's need for a new bathroom.

Jeff and his partners have not only begun working on the champ's
bathroom, they've installed a new sub-floor, ceramic tile
floor and cupboards in the kitchen! In addition, they've repaired
extensive water and mold damage throughout Gerald's home that
insurance didn't cover and he was unable to pay for himself
due to the tremendous costs involved in his daily care.
Because
of his selflessness, Jeff will have saved Gerald nearly $20,000!
