Gerard "Jerry" Daly

Gerard (Jerry) Daly, 81, of Quakertown, Chalfont, Edison and Perth Amboy passed away

surrounded by his loving family as the sun was setting on September 3 , 2022.

He is survived by his loving wife Joan (Moakler) of 57 years in addition to his children: Kevin

(Michelle), Colleen Reynolds (Rob), Erin Grourke (M.J.), Brian (Michelle),

And Sean (Tammy). He was affectionately, known as “Pops” to his grandchildren: Kyle, Cian,

Noel, Riley, Hope, Sofia, Aidan, Tristan, Shea, Kaelan, Ian, Olivia, Eoin, Alex, and his faithful

dog, Petey. Also surviving are his brother, Timothy Daly and his cousin, Kathy Healey .

After St. Mary’s High School Jerry went into the U.S. Navy for three years and then enrolled in

and received his BA from Rutger’s University. Until his retirement, Jerry worked at Prudential

Insurance Company as an underwriter.

After his retirement he received a Master’s degree from Villanova University showing his family

that you are never too old to reach your dreams.

Remembered as a “behind the scenes” volunteer Jerry had a passion for helping the

underserved. Retirement allowed Jerry the gift of serving others by delivering food in Aid For

Friends in Philadelphia, volunteering at Code Blue, assisting animals at the Last Chance Ranch,

helping out at the Quakertown Food Pantry, joining a medical mission to Haiti after the

earthquake and also working for three weeks at a Navajo Indian reservation. His legacy for

serving was joined by his love for animals. The number of National Parks that he has visited

encouraged him to enjoy his home in the Poconos.

As his children were growing up, Jerry could be seen at many sporting activities supporting

their sport teams either as a spectator or as a coach. All his children and grandchildren agree

that “Pops” was always there for them. He loved taking small groups of grandchildren on fun

trips as Christmas presents. Everyone knew that Pops loved his ice cream, meatloaf, Jeopardy

and baseball.

Sincere gratitude goes to Penn Presbyterian’s Trauma ICU unit for their superior medical care

and the compassion shown to Jerry after his accident.
