Gerald Joseph — age 87
January 14, 1933 — August 8, 2020

Jerry passed away peacefully on August 8, 2020 after a brief case of COID-19. Dad fought fearlessly for over 15 years with kidney issues and infections. Preceded in death by parents, Nicholas and Clara, wife Patricia of 55 years, precious son Michael William, beloved siblings, aunts and uncles. Survived by daughters Barbara Pflugi, Kathleen Blees, Cynthia (Scott) Breault, and Pamela (David) Wann; 8 grandchildren, 5 great -grandchildren and many friends and family. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed. A special thank you to his special friends at Boyd Lodge and our most heartfelt gratitude to Interlude Restorative Suites, and all the doctors, nurses and caregivers who have shown so much care and compassion to Dad over the years. May God bless you and keep you safe. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Kidney Foundation or charity of your choice and becoming an organ donor. Dad's favorite treat was a hot fudge sundae for Dairy Queen. Enjoy one in his honor!
