NEWTON FALLS – Gerald T. Aaron Sr., 61, passed away on Friday, Sept. 28, at the Cleveland Clinic with his loving wife and family at his side.
On Oct. 8, 1950, in Youngstown, Everett and Almetta Clark Aaron welcomed the birth of their son, Gerald.
Gerald honorably served our country in the U.S. Army in Vietnam.
He was a lifetime area resident and employed in the body shop at General Motors for 28 years, retiring from his duties in 2009.
Jerry enjoyed working in his yard and garden, watching sports and tinkering with his "Big Boy Truck."
Though, his gruff exterior and unforgettable voice, he was the social butterfly and stopped to talk to everyone, even strangers, and always parted as friends.
Nicknamed "Scary Jerry," it was a joy to watch how young children were attracted to him, always with a kiss and hug, unfearful. "Jerry" shared many special bonds, especially with his grandchildren and these will be sorely missed.
He was a hardworking, caring man who would help anyone that needed it and enjoyed taking fresh veggies to the seniors uptown at the end of summer.
On March 25, 2000, Gerald and his best friend and love, Colleen Buchanan, were united into marriage.
Cherished memories of Gerald will be carried on by his wife, Colleen Aaron of Newton Falls; sons Gerald T. Aaron Jr. of Boardman, Joe Respondek of Mentor and Richard Respondek of Clinton, Mich.; daughter Sherry Cappelli of Poland; and grandchildren Gerald T. Aaron III, Billy Aaron Jr., Matthew Wallace, Jacob Respondek, Chloe Respondek, Calista Respondek and Kiera Yadon.
Preceding Jerry in death were his parents; son Billy Aaron Jr., who passed away from ALS five years ago; and brother Rowen Clark.
Newton Falls Veterans Organization will honor Gerald's service to our country with military honors at St. Michael's Cemetery, where Gerald will be laid to rest.
