GERALD MARCUS

Age 95, of Ross Township, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at UPMC Passavant Hospital under the compassionate care of Family Hospice.

Born in Olean, NY, he was the beloved son of the late Roy and Rose Gaylor. He grew up in Eldred, PA, and moved to Pittsburgh in 1964. Gerry proudly served in the United States Navy, as a submariner aboard the USS Ronquil (SS-396) and was a proud member of the USS Requin Base. He retired in 1985, after 33 years with Bell of Pennsylvania (Verizon). He was a lifelong member of Hiland Presbyterian Church, where he served as Deacon and Elder. Golf was one of Gerry's greatest joys, and he played faithfully into his 90s.
