I grew up down the street from Gerry in Chester and we went all thru grade school and high school together. We always thought of Gerry as one of the guys. He never asked to be treated different from the rest of us. He had more courage, guts and character than all the rest of us could ever dream of. Rest in Peace Jerry
May perpetual light shine upon Gerald. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Everyone of Gerry’s classmates had the utmost respect for him. There was never a negative word uttered about Gerry, a truly classy gentleman who was loved by all of his classmates. His demeanor was an example for everyone he met.
On behalf of the St. James High School Alumni Association and his 1972 classmates, I extend our deepest sympathies and prayers on Gerry’s passing. On April 21, 2024, the Alumni Association will remember Gerry at their annual Memorial Mass at St. Madeline’s Church in Ridley Park. May he rest in peace! Gerry was the beloved Manager on the 1972 baseball team.
God bless you and god speed
Michele and Chris Giles
