These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Book Of Memories websites (the "Website") and other services (collectively the "Services").

Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be noted by indicating the date these Terms and Conditions were last made. Any changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted; provided, however, that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your use or continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective shall constitute your express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as changed, amended or modified.

Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

        • US Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

        • CA Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID COMPANY IN THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS, BUT IN NO EVENT MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

EXCLUSIONS: SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Terms and Conditions, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Terms and Conditions. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of the arbitration provision. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Chicago, Illinois. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Company agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

Please read this Privacy Policy ("Policy") carefully to understand how we will use and protect your Personal Information. We will not share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Policy. Changes to this Policy will be announced on our Site, so please check back periodically. This Policy forms part of the Company’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS and is incorporated by reference to those Terms and Conditions.

This Policy outlines Company’s general policies and practices for protecting your private information on this Site. It covers why Company collects information, the types of information it gathers, how it uses such information, and the notice and choice affected individuals have regarding Company’s use of and their ability to correct their information. This Policy applies to all personal information received by Company whether in electronic, written, or verbal format.

Company reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time and will do so from time to time. Each modification shall be effective upon its posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of any change(s) to this Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Policy regularly. If you have any questions concerning this Policy please contact Company at support@frontrunner360.com.

1. Scope

This Policy covers the Site in part and as a whole. However, it does not apply to entities that Company does not own or control, including without limitation, Campaign, advertisers or developers of content. Company may include third-party links on the Site. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and NOT this Policy. Company therefore has no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these third-party sites. Please check the privacy policy of any third-party site you interact with on or off the Site.

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    “Personal Information” includes both “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual’s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.

  6. How to Access Your Information

3.Reasons the Company Collects Personal Information

Company collects your Personal Information because it helps deliver a superior online experience, gives you convenient access to the Site for browsing, and allows key features of the Site to function properly. In order to better provide you with this superior level of customer service, our Site collects two types of information (referred to in this policy as "Personal Information") about our visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In addition, your Personal Information helps Company keep you informed about the latest announcements, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about.

4. Information Company Collects About You

Any time a guest or member (collectively “Users”) accesses the Site they receive a “cookie” from Company. Company uses cookies (small pieces of data stored for an extended period of time on a computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make the Site easier to use and to protect both you and Company. These cookies give Company certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your use of the Site. You may remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Site. Company may also use pixels, widgets and other tools to gather such Non-Personally Identifiable Information to improve the experience of the website or mobile application.

Company may contract with third-party service providers to assist it in better understanding its Site Users. These service providers are not permitted to use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information collected on Company’s behalf except to help it conduct and improve its business.

When you access the Site from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, Company may collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole. Company will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

Company keeps track of some of the actions you take on the Site such as member profiles and pages you view. Even if you do not provide certain information, Company may obtain it from you profile or the pages of its Site that you visit. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

5. Information You Provide to Company

Frequently, Content you place on the Site will contain a picture of your face. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

Where applicable, when you interact with other Users on the Site, you may provide other information about yourself, such as political or topical views, religious affiliation, or marital status. Any information in a public forum is accessible by anyone, including people who are not members of the Site. Please be aware they may share information you give them with other Users you may not know. They may also share the information outside the Site without your prior approval. Company does not have control over the actions of its Users and accepts no responsibility or liability for their actions. Please keep this fact in mind when using the Site, and use care when disclosing Personal Information to other Users of the Site.

Company may also collect information from ads you click on when using the Site. Company may also keep track of links you click on in e-mails you receive from Company. This is done to increase the relevancy of the ads you see.

6. How Company Uses Your Personal Information

Company uses the information you are required to provide to become a User in order to insure you are over the age of thirteen (13). THE SITE IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED BY ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF THIRTEEN (13). If you are under thirteen, please do not attempt to register with the Site or send Company any Personal Information. Company may also use your age information to be sure you receive an age appropriate experience while using the Site.

Company will use the information it collects to provide, without limitation, services and features to you and facilitate payment for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors and provide information to Campaign Organizers and Campaign beneficiaries. Company will also use the information to measure and improve the Site, and to provide you with customer support.

Company may contact you with new or updated products or services, designs, routes, surveys, or other related announcements from time to time. You may opt-out of all communications except essential updates. Company may include Content in the e-mails sent to you.

Certain software applications and applets transmit data to Company. Company may not make a formal disclosure if it believes its collection of and use of the information is the obvious purpose of the Site or its related application. If it is not obvious that Company is collecting or using such information, it will disclose its collection to you the first time you provide the information.

Company may use the information collected to prevent potential illegal activities. Company may also use a variety of methods to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse.

Company may use your information to serve you personalized advertising. Company does not share your information with advertisers without your consent. Company allows advertisers to choose the characteristics of Users who will see their advertisements. Company may use any of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information it has collected in any fashion to select the appropriate audience. Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Site’s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5. Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, and courts or other government entities.

  6. Company may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if it has a good faith belief that the law requires such a response. This may include requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States if Company has a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, is applicable to users from that jurisdiction, and is consistent with generally accepted international standards.

  7. Company may disclose analyzed data in the form of purchasing trends or statistical data. No Personally Identifiable Information will be attached to this disclosure.

8. Business or Asset Transfer or Sale

Company may be sold, sell or buy businesses or assets of businesses, or merge with another business. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Company, a line of business of Company, or substantially all the assets of Company are transferred, Personal Information may well be one of the transferred assets. Company will make a reasonable effort to provide notice on the Site, and to notify you via e-mail to the most recent e-mail address that you have provided of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

9. Miscellaneous

  1. Privacy of Children

    YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ITS SERVICES. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS ANY OF COMPANY’S SERVICES FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE RESTRICTIONS FOR USE OF COMPANY’S SITE AND SERVICES, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY COMPANY FALLS WITHIN THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998 AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.

    Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to Company. Company does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the Personal Information of someone over the age of 13, and will be treated as such by this Policy. If a child under 13 submits Personal Information and Company learns that Personal Information pertains to a child under 13, it will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. It is Company’s policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore, Company restricts the Site and all other provided services to persons 18 years or older.

  2. Agreement with Policy and Continued Use of Site

    Unless stated otherwise, Company’s current Policy applies to all information that Company has about you, your account, and access to the Site. By using the Site, you consent to this Policy and having your Personal Information and data transferred and processed as described.

Obituary

Ken Gerstley, of Pikesville, MD, passed away on Saturday, January 30th, 2021 at the age of 58. Ken was kind through and through, thoughtful of others, and a real gentleman. He was quick with a smile and a hug, and he made everyone feel welcome and comfortable with his infectious rumbling laugh; people loved to be around Ken. An outstanding athlete, he could play just about any sport with power and grace, and enjoyed being a part of the friendly competitions of Kan Jam and Spike Ball on the beach with his whole family. Over the years, he developed friendships wherever he worked, whether it was in the restaurant or ATM business. He also had an amazing work ethic, and he was driven both to do a great job for his customers and to take care of his family. But for Ken, the ultimate thing he loved the most was just hanging out with his two daughters and his loving wife. He was a proud and wonderful father and husband, an example and inspiration, and their hero, and he will be missed incredibly much.

He is survived by his wife, Lori Gerstley (nee Stavisky); daughters, Allie Gerstley and Tori Gerstley; siblings, Ron Gerstley (Amy Blank), Jeanne (Jeff) Weiner, Geri (Michael) Durham, and Jay T. Judd; mother, Barbara Judd; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Bob and Roz Stavisky; brother-in-law and sister-in law, Jeff & Lori Stavisky; nieces, Allie and Emmy Weiner, Maria Gerstley, Manya Gerstley, Sophie and Lily Stavisky, and Lisa Shang; and nephews, Zach and Jake Weiner and Brooks Gerstley. He was predeceased by his brother, Lee Gerstley; and father, John Gerstley.

A Virtual Funeral will be held on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021 at 12:00 pm. Please omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be sent to Center for Hope, C/O LifeBridge Health Department of Development, 2401 W. Belvedere Ave, Baltimore, MD 21215 - https://bit.ly/3alBvYg.

I cannot fathom what happened to him. How does one digest this? Such a good guy........and such a soulless person just snuffed him out of our beautiful world. God I sometimes don’t understand this life yet all I can do is pray. I think prayer is all we have and I really pray for Kenny’s family. Much love and hugs for Kenny’s family.
With much love and support

I attended Towson U. with Kenny and always remember he was the greatest guy I ever met in college. He was very warm hearted and always made people feel better for his presence, His contagious smile and laugh made the world a better place. We even met up somewhat by surprise for Spring Break 1985 in Fort Lauderdale. When the guys I was staying with had some unpleasant conflicts, he said if it got too bad I could stay with him without my asking. I recently discovered that a friend of mine attended the Park School with him who felt the same exact way as I did. We were just trying to track him down recently so this is even more of a shock. We were both so saddened by this news. My heart goes out to your family. May he rest in peace. God bless.

I had the pleasure of working with Ken during my time in the ATM industry. EVERY interaction with Ken was joyous - he made me laugh, he genuinely cared, and he always treated me with respect and patience. He was my most favorite person to call and I did it often...especially when I needed a lifting of spirits, so to speak. Ken was selfless and he taught me so much during our time working together. He reminded me to always be kind, work hard, and to genuinely care about others. Those lessons will be with me forever. I made a promise when I heard of Ken's passing to carry his legacy on with me and to act as he would have as best as I can...for the rest of my days. My heart breaks for you, his family, and I wish I could hug each of you. Know that I am sending all of my love and comfort your way. XX

I have to admit, it has been well over 40 years since I saw or have spoken with Kenny. I attended Park School with him. I remember him as a funny , kind and gentle soul. Always having something nice to say when we spoke. It appears, he grew up to be the same kind of man. I learned of Kenny's untimely and tragic passing through mutual friends. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and friends. I pray that you will find comfort in the memories you have of your Kenny. Godspeed, Kenny, may you rest in peace.

My connection with Kenny goes back many years to our days with Lee at Camp Winnebago. All the descriptions of Kenny at the funeral service and in this memorial book applied to him as a young boy as well. His core being never changed. I saw him infrequently over the years but always received a big, welcoming greeting when our paths crossed. My heart goes out to your entire family over this tragic loss. Your are all in my thoughts.

Words cannot express how saddened and sorry we were to hear about Kenny's sudden passing. When I heard the news on Sunday, I was in shock. Kenny was like a brother. He was a fun, loving, happy, caring and generous guy who would give you the shirt off his back. I'll always remember the memories of camp days, summers at Suburban Club, summers in Ocean City, and our time spent together on the lacrosse field and ski trips. He had the greatest smile and laugh. Kenny loved everyone and will be missed terribly. We are sending everyone hugs and prayers during this very sad and difficult time.

There are no words that can make this tragedy and loss of our dearly beloved Kenny, make any sense. I loved him, along with so many others. The words written here are clear, he was loved by so many.

Some of my best memories from high school include hanging out at Allie’s house, and Ken always made me feel so welcome there. Whether it was a spontaneous run-in at the beach, or picking us up from the movies in high school, you could tell that Ken had an amazing heart and was so loved. I’ll always remember him in the best light, and am thinking of you and your entire family during this unfathomable time. Love, Casey

It is so sad since we referred to them as some of the “good guys”! My sincerest condolences, Dinah Mahaffey

To the Gerstley family. We are so very sorry for your loss. Kenny was such a great guy. He always had a smile and I couldn't help but smile every time I saw him. I remember Ken as a kid growing up. We lived around the corner on Woodland Drive. A few years ago he played in a poker game with me, Ron and several other friends. We told him he had to bring dinner so he brought two pizzas. For ten guys. He was so upset that it wasn't enough food he insisted on going out to get more even though we all laughed and said it wasn't necessary. That's the kind of guy he was. He will be missed.

Dear Lori,
During our many years of friendship, it's always been so obvious how much you and Kenny adored one another. Today's service and your words illuminated that. "I want us to be on the same page!" His love, passion and determination was a true force for connectedness in your marriage. He would have it no other way. Relationships go naturally a bit stale over the years...but not so Lori and Kenny, and that makes today much much harder. If only you had loved less, this wouldn't hurt so deeply. If only you had been less whole as a couple, you would not feel broken. If only he had been less radiant, funny and irresistibly dear. If only. How is it, that during this terrible time, as your friends grieve, we also know you two were shined upon by a bright lucky star? A tragedy, a loss, a love story. We are here for you 1000%.

Dear Gerstley/Weiner family (truly too many to list) -
I was so sorry to hear the news of Kenny. I am trying to wrap my head around such a tragedy, such a loss. My heart goes out to you all. Two things I keep thinking about from my early years with Kenny's presence in my life....first was his infectious laugh. Just a simply happy person, through and through. Forty years later and I can still hear that laugh of his. My other memory that stands out is cheering him on for what I believe was his first mini-marathon. Even then I was in awe of his undertaking: athletic, determined, but always smiling. What an upbeat spirit that will be missed by so many. All my love....Brittish

Along with everyone else I am shocked and saddened to hear about Ken. Such a senseless, tragic, horrific thing to happen . I will always remember how nice and friendly Ken was. Many years ago Ken catered a dinner for over 500 people at Glyndon Elementary. It was the opening of their cafeteria. It was great working with him. But what I remember most is his love for the 3 of you. Such a true loving family guy. Always so proud of his loving family. We will all miss Ken, but his beautiful soul will watch over from above. A soul this special I’m sure has more work to do to help make this world more loving. His spirit will continue to do wonderful things🙏 At least that is what I choose to believe. Sending hugs hugs to all of you.

I keep thinking and reading the term Brother, when thoughts and memories of Kenny come up. He was that Brother from another Mother ( FYI, we all love Barbra). Fun, caring and generous with his laughs; Kenny was exactly as described in all of these notes. One of my oldest friends from Park, Pikesville and any open field ( or late night Pikesville Sr. High tennis court) with a frisbee. No doubt, there is a hole in my heart. Sending our love to all to all who knew Kenny.

Dear Gerstley and Weiner Families –

We are all having a hard time processing the loss of our Kenny G.

To my cousins Barbara, Lori, Jeanne and Ronnie and the extended Gerstley and Weiner families, this loss has ripped a hole in all of our hearts. Kenny was uniquely a one-of-a-kind person; he literally would give his shirt off his back for a complete stranger. When you were in Kenny presence, he had this special gift in making you always feel good. His smile was infectious, and he was always upbeat. You would never know if he was having a bad day but if you were, somehow you would leave a Kenny encounter feeling better. Kenny was not only my cousin, but he was also my classmate, teammate, and good friend. Family was always first for Kenny, he loved his girls and would always talk about them.

Elapsed time never negatively affected our relationship we would always pick up where we left off, even as the years past. I love you Kenny G, rest in peace my brother.

Kenny was the sweetest guy. He and my late sister, Mandy Edelstein, were very good friends growing up. I got to know Kenny as well as I attended Park and he was around my house to hang with Mandy. I am sending my deepest condolences to the entire Gerstley family. I hope knowing that Kenny had so many life long friends who care will help in your healing. Sending prayers your way.

When I think of Kenny, I think of that smile. It hit you right in the chest. It warmed up everyone in the room because it was such a pure expression of this big-hearted, warm-hearted, open, curious, funny guy. When I look at the pictures that smile hits me in the chest just like it always did, like he left it for us so we could warm ourselves in it whenever we need it.

To Lori, Allie, Torie, Barbara, Ron, Jeanne, Geri & Jay.........
Words cannot express how sorry I am at this senseless tragedy. Kenny was a mensch from that big smile he always had to that bear hug you'd get whenever you'd see him. A true gentleman, a great husband and father and a great friend to so many. - Just look at the memory book!! Kenny's heart was his family and his kindness to all was his soul!
May Hashem comfort you all and may Kenny' memory be a blessing to us all.

Dear Family of the late Ken Gerstley,
I recognized the name Gerstley when reading about this tragic incident and subsequent tragic loss of Ken while reading this morning's SUN paper. I am sickened by this senseless act that resulted in a loss of such a vital loving human being. While I did not know Ken, I went to high school with Amy Blank and would see her with Ron and Manya at Temple Emmanuel for the years that we were members. The few conversations I had with Ron showed me that he was such a nice and decent person....a real mensch.
It usually runs in families; I suspect from all the comment written here that Ken was the embodiment of love, kindness, and decency. May you all find comfort in the memories you share. And may Ken's memory be for a blessing.

Dear Lori, Allie, Tori, and Family,

We are devastated and heartbroken over this senseless, tragic loss of our beloved Ken. We say "our Ken" because he was universally loved. His genuine, kind soul, always with a smile and a hug waiting for you, even when his own spirit was low. A tireless worker and adoring family man, he was always an integral part of our family. We can only hope now that this void created in our lives will be filled with all of the fond memories of laughter and fun we had together. While we are all feeling the shocking pain from this tragic loss, we especially pray that your pain and suffering will be dampened by the outpouring of love of family, friends, and community. We love you.

Gerstley and Weiner Families,

During my first Bethany trip with your crew, Kenny insisted that I have “real” sunglasses so he took me to the boardwalk to get a new pair and I thought he was just the coolest guy ever. It is clear he made a similar impression on so many on top of being such a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. I think of those trips and your wonderful family every summer when passing by the neighborhoods and am sending so much love to all of you during this unspeakable time of tragedy and in the days ahead.

To the entire Gerstley family, I am beyond words to describe the utter and complete sadness I've been feeling since hearing of Kenny's senseless and untimely passing. We've lost one of the finest human beings G-D has created. As cousins we not only shared DNA but a relationship going back to our respective early childhoods. I will deeply miss seeing this wonderful man and hearing him say, "What's up bro" while giving you the biggest smile along with a huge hug. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him and loved him. We will never forget you Kenny.

Lor ( and the rest of the family on both sides)
What more to add here that is any different from what EVERYONE says about Ken Gerstley?
He was truly one of the nicest people we have ever known and we are deeply saddened by this tragic loss!
We have so enjoyed the friendship we have created with the two of you and the memories we created together as families (immediate and extended families) I remember when Ken started at Pikesville High and his years at Towson University , but the best years were the years of us becoming new parents and sharing so much of our first born baby's years together (born just a day a part) and celebrating every milestone we could together as families and friends. My kids have always considered you and Ken as family and refer to you both, to this day, as "Uncle Kenny and Aunt Lori" ! What a tragic loss for all who were lucky enough to be a part of Kenny's life. We will miss Kenny so very much but cherish the memories we have of him that make us smile! With so much love and prayer for you and your family.

It seems that somewhere in Pikesville I would run into one or both of you. It always made my day to see you and spend a few minutes catching up...like no time had passed at all.

I was so sad to hear of Kenny’s passing. Like many people who have written, I too remember Kenny’s warmth and big barrel laugh. I didn’t know him well but I did know him as an easygoing person who was always glad to see me (many times at Panera.) We are thinking about you two, and also Kenny, Lee, and Barbara. Everyone who ever met Kenny knew he was one of the good guys.

In some ways he reminded me of a big kid. He had that sense of fun and such a wonderful spirit. At this very dark moment in your lives, hold on to those wonderful memories of a son, a husband, a father, brother and friend. Remember how much love and joy he brought into your lives. May his memory be a blessing.

I haven't seen Ken in years but I know that the good nature he had when we were young is the one he always carried with him for his whole life. He was always fun to be with. I send my love to all the Gerstley's and his extended family. May his memory be a blessing.
