On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Gerald Perlmutter, husband, father and grandfather passed away at the age of 80.

Gerald (Gerry) was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Harry and Sarah Perlmutter. He received his engineering degree from Lowell Tech (University of Massachusetts at Lowell).

On June 1, 1969, Gerry married the love of his life, Carol Ann Levine. They raised two children, Jeffrey and Lisa in San Diego County.

Gerry led life to the fullest with an unparallel inner drive. He started three successful companies and moved around the United States following his passions and new opportunities, from Boston, Washington DC, San Diego, Seattle and finally Phoenix, Arizona.

Gerry never met a new technology he didn't love and was an avid science fiction reader. He had a love of boating, sought new adventures and lived a life with no regrets.

Gerry was preceded in death by both his parents, his brother and his son. He is survived by his wife Carol, his daughter Lisa, his two grandsons Noah and Jonas and his niece Dejah.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the American Heart Association.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
