Gerry's academic pursuit led him to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. His career as a microbiologist began in Castlerea Hospital, Co. Roscommon, and took him to St. George’s Hospital in London, where worked with and was mentored by Dr. Noel Browne. His quest for knowledge saw him working briefly in Paris and Lausanne, before he finally made his home in New York City in 1964. He said city life suited him.
In New York, Gerry dedicated over 50 years to the field of microbiology, working in Mount Sinai Hospital and NY Presbyterian Weill Cornell University Hospital. He stayed informed, often seen with the New York Times in hand, looking out for Irish interest stories.
Gerry remained a humble and private man. He had an appreciation for art and fine furniture, and lived a life of quiet elegance. His friends and neighbours on the Upper East Side recall him as a gentleman of impeccable manners, who, even in his later years, demonstrated remarkable determination. Whether pushing his walker with a bag of oranges or taking his evening walks, Gerry's strength of spirit was evident to all. He was a kind man, remembered for his non-judgmental nature and generosity.
Gerry has now been laid to rest in Lismore and we are indebted to Fr. Michael Cullinane for a warm, considerate welcome and funeral mass. Pat Ryan and Dina Walshe conspired to imbue the service with beauty, dignity and thoughtfulness. Gerry would have approved. May he rest in peace.
