Obituary for Gerald Christopher Persico

Gerald Christopher Persico age 63 of NYC on October 13, 2022 after a long illness.
Gerry grew up in Chelsea and graduated from Guardian Angel School, Regis High School and John Jay College of Criminal Justice where he received his undergraduate degree and two masters degrees in clinical and forensic psychology.
Gerry’s stellar academic, athletic and professional career was derailed by bi-polar illness. He was a lifelong Yankee fan and enjoyed nothing more than watching the Yankees, Giants, Rangers and Knicks in person or on TV.
He was dearly loved and will be terribly missed by his siblings: George, (Eileen), Alfred, (Jill), Evelyn, (David), Anthony, (Yvonne), Sally (Gerard) as well as many friends, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Alfred R. and Mary S. Persico and his sister Diane Marie Persico.
