GERALD CHIARAMONTE Obituary
Died: 7/9/2015---Richland, WA
Einan's at Sunset
A good, kind father and husband left this earth on 7.9.2015 to join many family members in Heaven. Jerry was born to Mary and Joseph Chiaramonte on 11.9.1947 and raised in Gallup New Mexico. He relished his role as father to his daughter Amy and Andy. He so looked forward to his daughter's upcoming wedding to Mike Brown later in the summer.
He and his wife, Rebecca have resided in Richland for over 26 years. He worked out in the area and was a project manager at Bechtel National where he was invested in his work and the work of others as together they found solutions and used their engineering minds in creative ways. He was a member of Christ the King Catholic Parish and was married to wife Rebecca for 44 years. They met in a Catholic Singles Club and were married at St. Joseph's Parish in Kennewick in 1971.
During his working years, as a chemical engineer, the family resided in California, Colorado and back in Richland. He was a member of Fun & Fit Over Fifty Club, and for years enjoyed bike riding, hiking and meeting the wonderful people involved in the club activities. He especially enjoyed playing golf for many summers with his Bechtel league.
He adored his daughter, Amy, and would do anything to be there for her, and rejoiced in her accomplishments. The family of four was very tight knit. Though Jerry had been sick for a few years, he worked hard at recovering his health and being involved in the activities he enjoyed. He was a musician who enjoyed playing his clarinet in the CBC Band, and also enjoyed learning jazz piano from a local noted celebrity.
His heart was always in the right place regarding others, having the gift of what it might be like to "walk a mile in another person's shoes." A quiet, gentle person -- those who knew him well found a friend for life.
He leaves his sister Frances and brother-in-law Ray and other relatives who mourn his passing. He will join his son Andy who died in 1995 and they have all of eternity to catch up. We love you, Jerry, and will miss you until we meet again.
Visitation with Rosary will be held at Events at Sunset in Richland on Monday, July 13, 2015. The visitation will be from 5pm to 8pm and the Rosary starting at 7:30pm. A Memorial Mass will be held at Christ the King in Richland on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at 3:00 pm, with a graveside inurnment to follow at Sunset Gardens in Richland at 5pm.

In this time great loss may the Lord be with you to ease your pain and suffering.
I found Jerry to be a fine stable gentleman and a good man to work for and with at all times.
I worked in Gallup when Gerry would have been 9 or 10 and later graduated from the University of New Mexico in Chenical Engineering in 1965. Because we graduated from the same university, I was selected to show Jerry around the Hanford plant when he came for a job interview. I worked for Jerry in the Process Engineering Group at WTP starting in 2006 until he retired.
In rememberance of Jerry, if there is anything I can do for his family, please contact me and I would be honored to help out. [email protected] or Cell 539-2665.
