Gerald “Gerry” R. Meunier, age 81 of Taunton, MA died at home peacefully with his wife by his side on September 21, 2023. Gerry and Helen were married for 56 years.
Gerry was born March 6,1942 in Taunton to Lorraine and Roger Meunier. Gerry was a proud veteran of the United States Coast Guard before working 35 years for Verizon. After retiring from the phone company, Gerry worked for Manheim Auction.
Gerry loved to work, but during his downtime, he practically lived in the garden where he could enjoy all his flowers and other plants. He was an outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing and was always thrilled to feed the birds that flew by his home. Gerry was also an avid history buff. The History Channel was always blaring in the den except, of course, when Willie Nelson was playing!
Gerry was preceded in death by his sister, Marcia Paling, and is survived by his pride and joy: grandsons Jake and Clay Meunier of Lakeville and also by his son, Jason.
Burial service is planned for Monday, October 2nd , 11 am. at Mayflower Cemetery. Although Gerry loved flowers, in lieu of those, he chose for donations to be made to Disabled American Veterans ( www.DAV.org ).
