Born and raised in St. Paul; Gerald graduated from Central High School, went on to the University of Minnesota, and then passed the bar after attending William Mitchell Law School. While earning his law degree, he took a job at the Ramsey County probation office where he learned the ropes and made lifelong friends. His time in the ROTC led to service in Fort Gordon, Georgia where he achieved the rank of First Lieutenant. He practiced law for sixty years in St. Paul with his partner and dear uncle, Allen Nilva. Law may have been his education, but real estate was his passion. As a developer, he built over two thousand residential units around the Twin Cities. Past President of the Temple of Aaron, past President of the St. Paul Club, and Master Joke Teller, he'll be dearly missed by both family and friends.
