Gerald "Gerry" Arthur Sampson

Gerry worked as a retail executive for 35 years. His last position was President of Neiman Marcus Stores, where he was responsible for all operations.

He was passionate about the Alzheimer’s Association (as his mother died of Alzheimer’s). He served as Chairman of the local chapters in Dallas and the Washington DC Metro Area before joining the National Board of Directors where he served from 2004 to 2014. He was the Chairman of the National Board for the last four years of his tenure. In 2015, he was appointed as the United States Representative to the Alzheimer’s Disease International Board of Directors where he served until 2018.

Gerry was a strong leader at his church, First United Methodist Church, Fort Collins. He served as Lay Leader, Chair of Church Council, was on many committees and sang in the choir, which he loved.

Gerry loved his family and enjoyed skiing and golfing with them as often as possible. He is survived by his wife, Dana, his children, Gregory Sampson of Washington, Kimberly Kincheloe of Wyoming, his daughter -in-law, Beth Sampson, son-in-law, Brad Kincheloe, and grandchildren, Kylie Sampson, Emerey Sampson, Quinten Kincheloe, and Maxwell Kincheloe as well as many nieces and nephews.
