Gerald attended schools in Bar Harbor and served in the US Marines. He held many jobs all over the island throughout the years. From caretaking of summer estates, working at the Jackson Lab, and managing the Otter Creek Market. His love of the water brought him back to his last one of lobstering on the "Cricker". His greatest joy was raising kids in a village with other parents in Otter Creek. He enjoyed deep meaningful conversations, genealogy, theology, woodworking, reading, writing stories, gardening, hunting, fishing, camping, bird watching, his cats, and sharing his love of life with his wife. He dedicated many years to being the coach to many Farm Leagues and Little Leagues teams. He was also the Scout Master for the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. He enjoyed taking many a child on an adventure earning badges or having a great baseball team.
