Gerald is also survived by twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Everyone knew him as "Pops" at Mama Carols Restaurant, which he and Carol has owned and operated for over 15 years. "Pops" never went at anything half-heartedly; paper boy, pilot, truck driver, diesel mechanic, Grand Master of the Elks Lodge, fishing, woodworking, and collecting cookie jars.
During his illustrious lifetime, Gerald could point to many achievements. But there are six people who will be quick to say that his crowning accomplishment took place on March 11, 1963.
That is the day that he said "I do" to a young woman named Carolyn… and her five small children, the oldest being only seven years old.
