Gerald A. Pirrung, Jerry, age 82 died peacefully on September 22, 2024 at his daughter Cathy’s home in Avon Park, Florida. He fought a short but determined struggle against metastatic cancer. 

Jerry was born in Bath, NY on June 6, 1942 to his parents Victor and Bertha Pirrung. 

Jerry is survived by his wife, Connie, the love of his life of 59 years. He had 4 adult children; Victoria, David, Jeffrey and Catherine. He is also survived by his sister Linda and her husband, Robert Odum, and his brother James and wife, Sharyl. 

He was incredibly proud of his 12 grandchildren; Sommer Elizabeth, Alex Kathryn, Renee Sommer, Lilly Leone, Elizabeth Mary, Tyler Morrison, Connor Francis, Cole Joseph, Luke Andrew , Caroline Denise, John Joseph & Francis Michael. His 6 great grandchildren are Luciana, Michael, Eli, James, Kai and Maya. 

Jerry was a man of faith who loved his family. He had an incredible work ethic and throughout his life he was a teacher, fuel distributor, auctioneer and farmer. Through his love of sports, he cultivated many friendships while supporting athletes and coaches. Jerry loved to travel experiencing new adventures with his wife, Connie, and especially enjoyed bringing family and friends together for epic beach celebrations. We were fortunate to celebrate “Pop-Popalooza” to honor his 80th birthday at Carolina Beach.

A celebration of life mass will be held over Memorial Day Weekend on May 24, 2025 at 10AM at St. Eulalia’s Catholic Church in Coudersport, PA. The burial will immediately follow at the Ulysses Cemetery. A reception and meal will then follow at 1PM at the St. Eulalia’s Church Hall to honor and commemorate Jerry’s life.
