Gerald was a 1966 graduate of Wilber Wright High School, and went on serve in the U.S.
Army from 1966 to 1969. He could strike up a conversation with anyone and never knew a
stranger. One of his greatest joys was working with his wife, Kathy, at their booth, raising
funds for the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk for breast cancer. He was a gentle soul and will
be missed by all who knew him.
A memorial visitation for Gerald will be held on Monday, April 14, 2025, from 10:00am to
2:00pm at Tobias Funeral Home in Beavercreek, followed with a funeral service at 2:00pm.
