Gerald joined the Army Reserve after college, then moved to San Francisco, CA and worked at Dorhman's where he met his wife, Gail. He started working at Stanford in 1967 and retired from Stanford in 1992. Gerald was a tax accountant and was semi-retired at the time of his death.

Jerry was an active member of Sierra Baptist Church in Newcastle, CA and recently enjoyed the "5th Sunday" singing at First Baptist Church in Lincoln.
His contagious smile touched many lives. Until his last few weeks, Jerry took great joy in sharing rides with family and friends in his convertible Jaguar, an 80th birthday present from Gail. He also enjoyed reading books by his favorite author, Tom Clancy. He was happiest when surrounded by his family who loved to be with him at their many family get-togethers.
