Gerry's principal occupation was in law enforcement. He was an officer with the Phoenix Police Department, then the Arizona Highway Patrol where he rose to the position of Zone Commander of Northern Arizona headquartered in Flagstaff where he built the family home.
Gerry was experienced in trapping, hunting, and photography; devoting many years of his life those pursuits. He won national acclaim for his skill and knowledge and wrote many books and magazine articles on these and other related subjects.
Gerry was also an enthusiastic gem and mineral collector. He visited most of the mineral sources in Arizona, a few in Mexico, and was the author of the book "Rockhounding Arizona."
