Gerald Trice

TRICE, Gerald F., 63, died suddenly and peacefully on Sunday, April 25, 2010 in his home. He was preceded in death by his son, Sam, whom he missed dearly. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary; beloved daughter, Julia Trice; and grandson, G. Trice, who brought him new delight. Jerry was quiet, self-effacing and steadfast. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1964 to 1968 and graduated from Penn State University. His most cherished titles after husband, father and grandfather, were "Honor Man" in the U.S. Navy, bestowed by his peers, and Chief Systems Operator for Virginia Power Company, commonly known as the "second best job in the company." A memorial service will be held at Good Shepherd Church, 43rd Street and Forest Hill Avenue, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 1. The family invites friends for refreshments at their home immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Jerry's memory to the Forest Hill Rescue Squad or a charity of your choice.
