Gerry was a U.S. Army veteran, with tours in Korea, Vietnam, Italy and Germany, as well as Fort Dix, Fort Meade and Fort Knox. He was a graduate of the University of Louisville.
Gerry found Ol’Tex, his 1937 Harley, in 1970 and traded his Kawasaki with turn signals for the machine that was his life-long project.
Gerry was proud of his children: Ken Lyons (Trista); Tasha Wyatt (Jeremiah); Chris Ford (Rachel); Elena Wahl (David); Drew Ford (Lisa) and their children.
Gerry’s wife, Lisa, and border collie, Spot, have many happy memories.
Gerry will be buried at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida at a date to be determined. Baldwin-Fairchild is in charge of arrangements.
