Gerald Waller Obituary

Gerald J. Waller

Gerald "Jerry" Waller, age 63, of Neenah passed away peacefully December 23, 2012. Jerry had Cerebral Palsy and lived life to the fullest. He worked at many places including Goodwill Industries. He was a frequent camper at Camp Waubeek in Wisconsin Dells. He liked country music, often attended Country USA and loved going to Disney World. He had an engaging smile and smiling eyes that made you want to smile with him.

Jerry is survived by his mother, Grace Gebhart, Appleton and six siblings: Daniel (Patricia) Waller, Waupaca; Dennis (Chris) Waller, Holyoke, MA; Karen (Russell) Borchardt, Neenah; David (Ann) Waller, Appleton; Kathy (Lee) Sternhagen, Omro; and Ken (Lisa) Waller, De Pere. He is further survived by five nieces, five nephews, other relatives and friends. Jerry was preceded in death by his father, Gordon Waller.

The funeral liturgy for Jerry will be held at 11:00am on Saturday, December 29th, 2012 at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 900 Geiger Street in Neenah, with Fr. Richard Allen officiating. Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday morning from 9:00am until the time of the service.

The family wishes to thank the many caregivers and friends who have cared, helped, prayed and loved Jerry. No words can convey how very much we appreciate the care and love given through the years.

I was one of Jerry's caregivers when I worked for the VNA. He liked having me because I liked to go to the many places he wanted to go. Thoughts & prayers are with his family, & friends.

Jerry never failed to brighten my day. No matter what kind of day it was, he made it better and would make me smile. It was a pleasure to be part of his life and I will never forget that huge smile he had. Sending the family prayers.
