Matt and the Nugent family, We were saddened to hear of your Dads passing. I was fortunate to coach Matt and got to meet Gerry and Frankie on soccer fields for a number of years. Gerry was one of the parents I was always happy to see at practice or a game because he was a positive person and knew the world didn't revolve around the score of the game. He had a dry sense of humor and a big heart, but of course you all know that. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. In sympathy Steve & Karen Morris

To the Nugent Family,

Many years ago, I was introduced to all of you as your late mother and I studied for our Master's degrees @ Anna Maria College in Paxton.

You were ALL with us in May of 1976 when your Mom ad I received our degrees though "little" Matthew had not quite made his appearance but was safely tucked away inside your Mom!

Your dear parents were one of the most loving, caring, fun couples that I have ever met in my 68 years. I always wanted to be just like both of them though I will never achieve that goal.

Will always remember them and all of you....yours was truly a God-centered family and his love shone in abundance in ALL of you!

My deepest sympathies blend with a true sense of joy knowing how well your dear parents lived truly beautiful lives!

Condolences to the Nugent Family. Gerry was always a gracious person. Although I only knew them in social circles, he and Frankie were a fun couple with great senses of humor. Gerry will be missed. Reunited with his beloved Frankie.

Our deepest sympathy to the Nugent family. Gerry always understood the importance of helping others. He was always willing to sort out a problem and did it with class and dignity. Gerry and Frankie were a dynamic duo and were the best of people. Love and Hugs to the family.

Gerry was no bureaucratic administrator. He was a caring social worker first and foremost. I was lucky to have worked for Gerry from the DCG days to the DSS days. He was an outstanding leader who ably mixed common sense, a sense of humor and compassion. It was great being part of his Regional Office team and his Friday Green Hill foursome! Rest in peace dear friend.

How saddened we were to hear of Gerry's passing. Lots of fond memories of he and Frankie and the Nugent family.

It might be an old adage but it certainly applies, they truly don't "make them" like Gerry anymore. A loss for all.

Condolences to the Nugent Family. Gerry was a great person always ready with some type of humor. He previously attended the State Retirees' luncheons which included many of his former co-workers. Rest in Peace my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. It's never easy to lose a parent. Sorry I can't be there to give you a hug, but know it's there. Remember that you now have your own special saint looking after you and yours. Talk to him every day. He's there for you.
Love and prayers, Mrs.B., SJHS

Please accept our condolences during this difficult time. Many fond memories of Gerry and Frankie.

We are, all of us, molded and remolded by those who love us. And though that love may pass, we remain, none the less their work. No love, or friendship, can ever cross the path of our destiny, without leaving some mark upon us forever.
With heartfelt sympathy,

I have known Gerry since our days at Clark. He was a year ahead of me. Later I met him on several occasions in Boston when he was at B,C, getting his masters in social Work and I was on active duty in the U.S Navy stationed at the at the South Boston Navy Ship Yard. .

When my wife & I were married in 1955 we moved to Shrewsbury would run into Gerry around town. In later years, when he & his wife moved to Harrington Farms condo, my wife & I would met him shopping at Stop & Shop.
He was a kind & loving man who had a sense of humor and always kept the focus on my wife & I.. When my wife did the shopping and he would converse with her and ask for me..

Gerry was truly a man of God who practiced his religion by his deeds. As St. Francis said: Only use words when necessary. Gerry was a true servant of our K
Lord. May he find his place in God's Eternal Kingdom with All the Saints.

Gerry was an amazing person. He hired me at DSS/DCF in 89, (with and perhaps in spite of the knowledge of my connection to the family business LOL), and was an amazing mentor throughout my career. Quick with a smile and a joke, ALWAYS loved seeing Gerry in the office and out on the golf course....he had a way of making you feel so special. A legend he was and will always be. Rest well.

To all the Nugents: All the Daly family is thinking of you and hoping the memories of your dad are comforting you today and in the days and months ahead. My dad always mentioned seeing your parents at the 7:30 mass and anytime Gerry's name came up in our house, my mom always said, "that Gerry Nugent...you know he gave me my first job, right?" Mom had just finished her MSW at BC and Gerry hired her to be a social worker. That was a "few" years ago but mom remembers it fondly each time she tells the story.
