Unfortunately, after this purchase life took a turn when Toni fell ill. Gerry shares, “She had a bacterial infection that infected her kidneys and infected her liver.”

Gerry continues, “And so, I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7, she passed away on July 15.”

The Golden Bachelor’s Journey

Since Toni’s passing in 2017, Gerry has been on his own. Now, in his new journey for love he is paying respects to his late wife.

 Gerry has said, “No one’s ever gonna replace Toni, but the love of my daughters and my granddaughters pulled me out of a dark spot.”
