Gerald “Jerry” C. Lapointe, age 69, died early August 10th after a period of failing health. Jerry was born in Northampton, Ma to his mother Jean Emily (Bushey) Lapointe and late father, Clarence Joseph Lapointe.
Though he worked long and hard, Jerry made time to be an active participant in the lives of his children. He coached basketball, soccer, softball, and t-ball; loved sports of all kinds but was an especially avid Red Sox fan; and loved to spend time outdoors. Jerry was brilliant and despite his disinclination for games, would occasionally humor his family and impress everyone with his expansive trivia. Jerry enjoyed reading historical novels and listening to music in his free time. He was generous, smart, funny, and stubborn. Though a quiet man, he touched many lives and will be warmly remembered.
Jerry is survived by his mother Jean Lapointe; two brothers, Philip “Flip” Lapointe and his wife Dale, Richard “Rick” Lapointe; and sister, Susan Johnson. He leaves behind two daughters, Tara (Dugas) Robinson and her husband Robert, Katie Lapointe and her partner Adam Seegars; one son, Daniel Lapointe; and his former wife, Melanie (Crane) Lapointe. He was a loving grandfather to Alex and Lucy and caring uncle to many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his father, Clarence, and brother-in-law, Clyde Johnson.
