“Gerry lived his life to give back to others and make our community better. He looked out for the disadvantaged and voiceless. He always stood up for what is right and just,” a statement from his family added.
“His absence will leave a hole in our hearts, but we are proud that his life’s work will endure for future generations. We thank you for your love of Gerry, and know he loved you all so much.”
Reacting to the demise of Conolly, one person wrote on X: “My condolences to the Connolly family for the loss of thus exemplary man and Representative. RIP”.
“Very sad news. Rep Connolly was a first rate public servant & policy geek. He was about getting things done, rather than getting likes on social media posts & was well-liked & -respect by his colleagues regardless of party. My thoughts & prayers are with his personal & extended family of friends, colleagues & staff,” another commented.
“Rest in Peace. Thank you for your service to this country,” one more chimed in.
