Born on May 21st, 1945, in the Bronx, New York, Jerry spent his life devoted to his family. He proudly served his country as a Sergeant (E-5) in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged after six years of dedicated service. Following his time as a Marine, Jerry worked for the US Postal Service for 35 years and was known for his strong work ethic. After his retirement in 2010, he most enjoyed having the grandchildren and great-grandchildren over for food and games.
Jerry was an avid collector with many interests. You could always find him scrolling through eBay for collectibles or lounging in his chair with a remote in his hand. He enjoyed waiting for the latest movies to come out, spreading his love for all things Disney (especially Snow White and Star Wars), telling the funniest jokes, being a Disney stockholder, keeping to a strict routine, and loved watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up together.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mafalda Curci, and his sister, Eileen Reagan.
Jerry is survived by his wife of 57 years, Linda Curci; his children, Todd (Stacy), Brian (Jennifer), and Kari (Deana); his grandchildren, Savannah, Ashlee, Isabella, Giovanni, Braelyn, Hailee, Brian C., Ty, and Nickolas; and his great-grandchildren, Addison, Ryleigh, Jax, and Mia.
A viewing will be held on May 12th, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park & Funeral Home. A funeral service with military honors will take place the same day from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to a veterans organization in Jerry's memory; or, to HPH Hospice, 12470 Telecom Dr, Suite, 301, Temple Terrace, FL 33637. Scroll for direct link.
