Gerry graduated from Berlin High School in 1965. Afterwards, he became the drummer for the band Heat Waves. He worked at Tops Furniture before a long career at James River Paper Mill. After retirement, he drove the bus for CAP and also delivered cars for AutoNorth. Gerry truly enjoyed listening to music ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. He was often seen around town walking his beloved dog Flag, riding his motorcycle with friends, ATVing with the Silver Riders Club, marching with the Senior Drum and Bugle Corps, playing cribbage at "THE CAVE", skiing at Wildcat or just hanging out at the VFW, American Legion, the Eagles or the Millyard. He served 20 years in the Army National Guard, and retired as an E-5. Gerry loved to watch his grandchildren play hockey.
He also loved being involved in the community with the neighborhood horseshoe, pingpong, softball, or cribbage leagues. He was President of the Senior Center, a United Way volunteer, and he loved playing Santa every year for the kids at the Eagles Club. Gerry was always ready to meet a new friend. He was loved by many and will be missed dearly.
