Gerald P. Dey Jr.

Gerald P. Dey Jr., joined his wife Deanna Dey, peacefully in the early morning of November 4, 2022 at 83 years old.

He is survived by his daughter Sandra and husband Terry DeBoda son Steven and his wife Mako Dey and three grandchildren: Tyler Dey, Kensho Dey and Ayano Dey.

Gerald, a Temple University Alumni in business, was a natural salesman who enjoyed his life playing tennis, racquetball, Yorkie dogs, socializing, traveling and taking cruises. He loved good comedy and was a big fan of Monty Python & Mel Brooks and was always good for a story or a joke. The love of his life and high school sweetheart, Deanna Dey, passed just two years prior and we are at peace knowing they are once again together. Dad, you will be missed.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 17, 2022 from 6:00-7:00PM at Chandler Funeral Home, 2506 Concord Pike. Interment private.

    I have fond memories of Gerry (and Deanna) growing up in Westminster. The door was always open when I walked over to use the lawn mower (apparently we shared it) or borrow an egg. Every time I see a mushroom, I think of him. Sending my condolences to Sandy and Steve and family.
