Gerald Marx Obituary

To The Marx Family
My deepest sympathy to you. Mr. Marx was a great guy. As I reflect, the description "larger than life" comes to mind when I think of Mr. Marx. Although I didn't realize it as a child, he certainly defined this notion for me. My memories of him are all positive so I know that your memories will give you much joy and comfort as you deal with this physical loss. Just as Wriggley chewing gum evokes a visual for me, a look, expression or piece of music will elicit a memory and smile for all of you.

Gerry,

I really enjoyed teaching Elderhostel with you for several years. You were always smiling, friendly, and collaborative. I remember stories about Wrigley's and about Glenn Miller. I was sorry to see you had passed on but I am sure you are entertaining folks somewhere still. My sympathies to the Marx family.

Dear Mrs Marx, Barb,Buzz and Diane I am so sorry for your loss,its been extremely hard on all of you with the ups and downs with his health. He is in a better place now without pain and in gods arms smiling down on all of you. Your all in my thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Mickey,

Dear Marx Family:

I'm so sorry for your loss. Gerry was an outstanding person. He gave of his time and talent to so many people. I have fond memories of his tremendous sense of humor and music ability.

He was a good husband, father and family man. I am particularly grateful to him for giving me his daughter, Barb as my friend for forty-five years.

His memory will live on in all whose lives he touched with his love, enthusiasm, music, faith and humor.

With Deep Sympathy,

Mr Marx,
Although I never met you, I feel I know you through your children. You may not know it but you have the greatest kids. I have been friends with them for over 35 years and its nice to know that we are still friends. I guess that shows you what good people you raised.
And to Mickey, I'm very sorry for your loss. It's nice to know someone that has been married to the same person for so long. It is a rare and beautiful thing.
And to all the Marx kids, I'm so sorry for your loss and I can only wish I had a father as good as yours.
All my love,
Laina Adams

I really thought that Gerry would live forever after defying the odds. Allow the colourful memories to envelop you at this time and may the sun shine again soon. We take this time to celebrate Gerry's life and to be of comfort to Mickey, Barb,Buzz, Diane and the family.

Gerry was my "almost cousin"...I think! When my husband, Dick & I moved to St. Louis, my uncle Joe told us we had to look up the Marxs. Seems my aunt Ellen, Joe's wife's maiden name was Marx. Uncle Joe & my father were brothers - see the wonderful connection there? We didn't, but did look up Mickey & Gerry & are we glad we did! A great couple! Both have been in our prayers & will continue to be. I'll remember Gerry for his wonderful sense of humor. We all laughed a lot!

May the memories of Gerry's life and accomplishments bring you peace and comfort. Our thoughts are with you all.

Mickey, We think of you everyday and hope you and the family are holding up well under the circumstances. You know how much I loved Gerry and I will dearly miss my special buddy. Sandy, sends her love.

the quintessance of dads!

Dear Aunt Mickey- I have been thinking about you and your family everyday. Uncle Gerry was one of a kind and I will miss him a lot! My prayers are with you.
