ROBERT LAWRENCE GERNER
ROSEMARY RITA GERNER
(nee DRISCOLL)
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Florence (Hanson) and by his only sibling, Richard. Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Helen (Gall) and her five brothers, John, Tom, Bob, Paul and Joe Driscoll. Both were preceded in death by their infant daughter, Leianne, from Cystic Fibrosis in 1957.
Both are further survived by their daughter, Christine and her husband Paul Keane; their son, Thomas and his wife, Brenda Hoff; by their five grandchildren and four step-grandchildren: Rebecca (David) Hawkinson, Mark (Shelly) Talcott, Elizabeth (Jacob) Ladd, Lindsay Gerner, Cory Gerner; Jasmine Hoff, Nathan (Dianna) Keane and children, Brian (Jackie) Keane and children, and Nick (Melissa) Keane and children. Also survived by their pride and joy, their four great grandchildren, Nolan, Nash, Rachel and Evie. Further survived by sister-in-laws, Bobbie, Pat and Evelyn Driscoll.
After serving in both WWII and the Korean War, Bob worked his entire life in sales while Rose managed the home and entertained business clients, family and friends. They were married for 63 years, and enjoyed taking long drives, eating out, entertaining and spending time at the cabin (Bob built one from the ground up in 1962 and it’s still standing!). They loved their family and friends deeply and will be missed by many.
