Gerald Russel Chiaramonte

Born: 11/9/1947—Gallup New
Mexico

Died:  7/9/2015—Richland, WA

A good, kind father and
husband left this earth on 7.9.2015 to join many family members in Heaven.
Jerry was born to Mary and Joseph Chiaramonte on 11.9.1947 and raised in Gallup
New Mexico.  He relished his role as
father to his daughter Amy and Andy. He so looked forward to his daughter’s
upcoming wedding to Mike Brown later in the summer. He and his wife, Rebecca
have resided in Richland for over 26 years. He worked out in the area and was a
project manager at Bechtel National where he was invested in his work and the
work of others as together they found solutions and used their engineering
minds in creative ways. He was a member of Christ the King Catholic Parish and
was married to wife Rebecca for 44 years. They met in a Catholic Singles Club
and were married at St. Joseph’s Parish in Kennewick in 1971.  During his working years, as a chemical
engineer, the family resided in California, Colorado and back in Richland.  He was a member of Fun & Fit Over Fifty
Club, and for years enjoyed bike riding, hiking and meeting the wonderful
people involved in the club activities. 
He especially enjoyed playing golf for many summers with his Bechtel
league. He adored his daughter, Amy, and would do anything to be there for her,
and rejoiced in her accomplishments. The family of four was very tight knit.  Though Jerry had been sick for a few years,
he worked hard at recovering his health and being involved in the activities he
enjoyed.  He was a musician who enjoyed
playing his clarinet in the CBC Band, and also enjoyed learning jazz piano from
a local noted celebrity. His heart was always in the right place regarding
others, having the gift of what it might be like to ‘walk a mile in another
person’s shoes.’ A quiet, gentle person — those who knew him well found a
friend for life.  He leaves his sister
Frances and brother-in-law Ray and other relatives who mourn his passing.  He will join his son Andy who died in 1995
and they have all of eternity to catch up. We love you, Jerry, and will miss
you until we meet again.
