Gerhard “Gerry” Alexander Swyschtch died peacefully on Friday, April 28, 2023, at his home in Fairless Hills. He was 75 years old. Gerry was a decorated Vietnam Veteran. Born in Munich, Germany, he was the son of the late Alexander and Theresa Schoenhoffer Swyschtch. Gerry will be missed tremendously by his long-time companion, Margie Petro and their dog Charlie Bananas. The couple shared 28 years of fun, friendship and love.
Gerry will also be missed by his Daughter Tereasa Swyschtch-Prieto married to Matthew, and his Son Alan Swyschtch married to Ellen.
