Gerald Gassen Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He graduated from Glennon Catholic School in Kansas City, Missouri in 1954. Jerry worked for Bendix as a Manufacturing Supervisor. He worked there through one name change to Allied Signal, and after 32 years he retired from his supervisory roll.
He was a foodie, and he loved going out to eat. He also enjoyed music, woodworking and was an avid reader of historical fictions and mysteries. Jerry also genuinely loved his home and loved tinkering around his house and yard. He also loved his family and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
Jerry is survived by wife, Ida Gassen; daughter, Nancy (Steve) Moss; son, David Gassen; grandchildren, Ethan and Maia Moss and brother, Terry (Phyllis) Gassen. Jerry was preceded in death by his parent, Frank and Alice Gassen; grandson, Cooper Moss and brother Larry Gassen.
Expressions of sympathy can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Arrangements are under the direction of Parker-Millard Funeral Service & Crematory, 12 East Ash Street, Columbia, MO 65203 (573) 449-4153. Condolences may be left online for the family at www.parkermillard.com.
