James Gerometta Obituary
Jim graduated from Cass Technical High School and Lawrence Technological University. He then worked as a design engineer for Ford Motor Company for 33 years. Jim raced a Fiat Abarth in road races. He loved his Italian heritage. He was a member of the Bayview Yacht Club where he raced his C & C 40 sailboat, winning back-to-back Port Huron to Mackinac races.
Jim is survived by his wife of 53 years, Margaret, son Jim and daughter-in-law Rachel, and grandsons Daniel, Charlie and Teddy. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews: Bert, Chris and Michael Paul, Cindy Dreyfuss, Monica Dennis, Beth Pickard, Tony and Leno Gerometta, Jennifer Peacock, and Patrick and Christina Gerometta, as well as many beloved great nieces and nephews. Jim was a good man who valued family, friends and good times. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I am sad to hear of Jim's passing. He was a co-worker at Sterling and a good friend. He was a man of many talents. I have great memories of him and his generosity. He fixed my Fiesta a few times in his big barn full of tools. My daughter and I had a wonderful outing doing cross-country skiing with Jim. Condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Jim.

Jim was a dear friend outside work and a beloved colleague at Ford. He was one of the best storytellers I have ever met and his sense of humor was unrivaled. I can only hope to be reacquainted with Jim in heaven as his good nature will make life everlasting more joyful.
God bless Jim and his family.
