Gerald was raised in Manchester, NH. He attended St. Augustine Elementary school and Bishop Bradley High School Class of 1963.

Upon completion of his service in the Navy, he entered St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH with a major in political science and philosophy. He then began his career in the insurance claims field. He worked in this field until he lived in Houston, TX where he attended South Texas College of Law and got a degree as a JD in 1988. He passed the bar and received his law license in May 1989.  He began his practice as an attorney in Texas and continued practicing legal consultation work when he moved to Fairfield Glade, TN in 2008.  He had a condo in Bradenton, FL where he and Denise spent six months of the year.  In the fall of 2017, they moved to St. George, UT where he loved the beautiful weather, his many golf friends, volunteering at the Pioneer Courthouse, and yoga at the Active Adult Center.

Upon Gerald's wishes, arrangements were made for his cremation and no ceremony will be held. If you want to honor and celebrate "G" (as he was lovingly referred to later in life), you can make donations to American Cancer Society or the American Association of Cancer Research.
