Gerald Behrend Obituary

Gerald C. Behrend July 4, 1940-September 7, 2010 Gerald Behrend passed away on September 7th at the age of 70. Jerry, a native of Wisconsin, worked for many years as a Systems Programmer and then had his own packing and shipping business for several years before retiring in 2000. His passions in life were skiing, photography and cooking for his family and friends. So many people have talked about how they loved his humor and how he made them laugh. Many loved him, as a steadfast friend, a really great guy; he will be deeply missed by all. Jerry is survived by his loving life partner Harold Clumeck, his brother Kenneth Behrend of Merrill, Wisconsin and many kind friends and relatives. A Memorial Service celebrating his life will be held for family and friends on Friday, October 8th beginning at 11 a.m. at DUGGAN'S SERRA MORTUARY, 500 Westlake Ave., Daly City, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice in memory of Gerald C. Behrend. "Jerry, our memory of you is the treasured legacy you have left us, Rest in Peace."
