Kerry Landis Obituary
Kerry graduated from the Scotland School for Veteran Children and joined the army shortly after. He served his country for three years while stationed in Germany. Kerry spent time living in Texas attending school for ministry. He moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he met his wife and worked for Allegheny County Child Services until he retired. Kerry was a long time member of the Berlin Fife and Drum Corp (one of the oldest drum corps in the United States). Kerry enjoyed spending time with his family, sporting events, hunting, fishing, and helping other people. Most importantly Kerry loved spending time with his only grandson. Kerry fought a battle with cancer but is no longer suffering and is at Home with the Lord free of pain and surrounded by glory. He is survived by his wife Jeanette, daughter Rachael, and grandson Carson. He is also survived by his brothers Barry and Brian (Paula) Landis.
