Gerry got his first job working at McFarland Foods, operating a forklift loading trucks. He was hired on at Ryder where he learned to be a trailer mechanic, welder, and painter. Gerry then continued at Stoops Freight Liner with these skills. Later he worked alongside his mother cleaning for Bonnie Pierce and Carol Pugh Cleaning Services. In his recent years Gerry was on disability due to health reasons.
Gerry enjoyed racing go-carts and attending all forms of racing with a Mountain Dew in his hand. His love for animals gave him numerous pets throughout his lifetime and led him to his beloved dog, “Hershey Girl”. His favorite vacation time was spent camping across the United States, going to the beach, and attending family cruises. Gerry had a love for building huge campfires on any occasion. Calling him a practical joker is putting it mildly but making people laugh is what he excelled in. He will be missed by many.
