James GERRICH Obituary
78, went home to be with the Lord on June 18th, 2021. He was born in Goodland, Indiana, on September 8, 1942. He was an incredible husband, father, and grandfather. He taught us that true treasure is family. His favorite way to spend his day was driving his orange Honda Element around town to see his kids and grandkids. He was proud to serve our country in the United States Air Force and was stationed at Wurtsmith Airforce Base in Oscoda, Michigan. After his time spent in the military, he moved his family to Springfield, Ohio. He worked at Cascade for 25 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Krystgna "Pearl" (Coty) and his three children: Christina Frazier, Tammy (Aaron) Toops, and Steven (Susan) Gerrich; his ten grandchildren: Shawn Miller, Daniele (Josh) Massey,
Megan Beeler, Joshua (Nicole) Wolbert, Camilly (Ryan)
Saunders, Sydney (Jake) Wagner, Sidney (Tyler) Owings, Aaron Toops, Shelby Toops, and Sophia (Devin) Nibert; and eighteen great grandchildren: Evan, Logan, Dalton, Avie, Carson,
Madison, Emmalynn, Molly, Briella, McKenzie, Harper, Brooks, Bailee, Leila, Parker, Sawyer, Lucy, and Maeve and all his
family in Indiana, the Gerrich, Coty and Eason families. He is preceded in death by his parents: Charles and Dorothy Gerrich, siblings Robert Gerrich, Judy Eason, Dean Gerrich, and Sandy Wise; and his nieces Shirley Clark, and Julie Gerrich.

Krys and Family,
I know how hard this time can be but be comfortable in the knowledge that "It wont be long" until we will be united again in the arms of our blessed savior, and we will never be apart again.
