He is preceded in death by his parents and three brothers. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Virginia G. Uranga; daughter, Christina Uranga; son, Gerald Uranga and his wife, Melinda; and sister, Consuelo Uranga Aguilar. He was so proud of his grandchildren, Gabriella and Gerald Joseph II and his wife, Samantha; and the apple of his eye, his great-granddaughter, Georgia Jae Uranga. He served in the US Army in the Korean War and retired from Kelly Air Force Base after 30 years. Among his passions were woodworking, watching his grandson play baseball, camping with his family, and fishing until the sunset. He also enjoyed his weekend getaways to Coushatta and Kickapoo with his wife. He was a man of faith and believed in welcoming everyone like family.
