Gerald Samkow

Gerry was an inquisitive and hard worker from an early age. This led him to many unique and interesting endeavors throughout his life. In 1967 Gerry married Audrey Braun; they had two sons Jason and Troy. In 1973, he built our family home where so many great memories were made and many friends felt at home. He filled his time with wood working, carpentry, camping, fishing, farmer’s markets and bargain hunting. He was a proud Papa to his grandchildren, Brooklyn and Decker, and loved spending quality time with them.

He owned and operated Guardian Fire and Safety, with his son Jason, for the past 28 years.

Gerry is survived by his wife Audrey, son Troy (Suzanne), grandchildren Decker and Brooklyn, sisters Jeannie Prazma (Tony), Judy Colbert and Linda Edwards.

Gerry is predeceased by his son Jason, parents Margrete and Henry Samkow,

in-laws Nettie, Roy and Ivy Braun.
