William “Bill” Gerrity Sr., 68, of Warsaw, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022, at Kosciusko Lutheran Hospital in Warsaw.
He was born on Jan. 5, 1954, in Germany, and was adopted by Ray and Rosemary Snoreck Gerrity at the age of 5. On June 19, 1978, Bill married Susan Morehead, sharing 45 years together. She survives.
Bill joined the Navy and was ready to serve in Vietnam, but the war ended on the day of his graduation from basic training. He would go on and serve until his honorable discharge. He worked for NASA and later drove semi and was a million-mile driver. He was a quiet man, who enjoyed weightlifting, bowling, was very creative and enjoyed wood working. Many of his family and friends have personalized ornaments hanging on their trees today. He loved to travel and was all about the next adventure. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend.
Bill is survived by his wife, Susan, of Warsaw; a sister, Patty Marlowe, of Syracuse; his adopted grandchildren, Abby, Skye and Kinsley; and a large extended family.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, William “Billy” Gerrity, Jr.
