Gordon Joseph
Gerstner
May 3, 1944 — Oct 19, 2021
Gordon J. Gerstner, 77, received the promise of eternal life on October 19, 2021, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born in Buffalo, NY, on May 3, 1944, son of the late Paul and Muriel (née: Kaiser) Gerstner.
Gordon was united in marriage to the former Pamela Beth Stoner on July 6, 1985, in Antioch, IL.
Gordon proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Airforce during Vietnam. He was an administrative officer at the VA in North Chicago until his retirement. Gordon was a member of St. Anne Catholic Church in Pleasant Prairie for over 20 years. He was a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus.
Gordon enjoyed solving Sudoku puzzles. He loved spending time cleaning and caring for his swimming pool. He was an avid Packers fan, unless they were playing the Buffalo Bills since they were his hometown team. Being a Husband, Dad, and Grandpa was his entire world. He loved taking road trips and going on random adventures.
Gordon leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of over 36 years, Pam Gerstner; children, Holly Turcotte, David Gerstner, Brian (Daniela) Logsdon, Meghan (Sonny) Sharks, Ashley Gerstner; grandchildren, Jaidyn, Sam, Kaitlyn, Ani, Halle, Sarah; sister-in-law, Kitty Gerstner, sister-in-law Dru (Jeff) DeLong; faithful canine companions, Gabi and Gracie; other relatives and dear friends too numerous to mention.
In addition to his parents, Gordon is preceded in death by his son Crane Gerstner; grandson, Sonny Sharks, Jr.; and brother, Robert Gerstner.
A memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, November 6, 2021, 12:00pm, at St. Anne Catholic Church, 9091 Prairie Ridge Blvd, Pleasant Prairie, with Rev. Robert Weighner officiating. Visitation will be at the church from 10:00am until the time of the Mass. Private interment will take place on a later date at Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery. The family has suggested memorials to St. Anne Catholic Church.
The family would like to extend a heart-felt "Thank You" to the staffs at Hospice Alliance and Grande Prairie Health and Rehabilitation Center, especially his regular nursing staff, Pat, Lucia, Liza, Kyra, and Lena, for the love and care given to Gordon and his family at this difficult time.
