Gerald Sherry Obituary

Gerald B. Sherry, 82, of Cape Elizabeth, Maine and formerly of West Hartford, Connecticut, passed, away on July 28, 2018 from cancer. Jerry was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1935 to Samuel and Rose Sherry. Among other stops in a busy, fulfilling life, he taught plumbing at Prince Technical School in Hartford for two decades. His warm, goofy sense of humor will be dearly missed by his beloved wife of 58 years, Marilyn Sherry, son Sam Sherry and daughter Trudy Sherry Egan, his family and friends. Jerry was deeply grateful to the staff of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute for their gift of the last three years of his life.

Marilyn and Sam so Sorry. Got to know Gerald and Marilyn when I did legal stuff for Condo Ass'n, always thought my Golf friend Ken Black who recommeded me and Your parents did not want to take advantage of Sam did not want to ask a favor of their Son Sam who has a very good reputation serving clients. Am certain you have so many wonderful memories it will make this time a little easier. Dick Cervizzi
