Dr. Gerald J. Wasserman of Warrington, Pennsylvania, died Wednesday, December 13, 2017, at Jefferson Health Hospice at Warminster. He was 72 years old. Gerald was born March 27, 1945, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of the late David Wasserman and the late Rose Wasserman (nee Pepperman). He is the loved husband of Michelle Wasserman (nee - Beyda); father of Adam Wasserman and his wife Kate and Tara Blum and her husband Andrew; grandfather of Jack and Sage Wasserman and Mia and Noah Blum; brother of Renèe Goldsman and her husband “Big Jerry” and Judy Rubin and her husband Mark; he is also survived by a loving extended family, many friends, and his Morkie, Sophie.

Jerry was raised in the Oxford Circle neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. He graduated from Northeast High School, attained his Master’s Degree + 60 credits from Temple University, and his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine.

On June 20, 1971, Jerry married Michelle Beyda in Chicago, where their family would settle for more than 30 years. During his medical practice, Jerry became recognized as a pioneer, specialist, and authority in laser surgery. Then, in the early 2000s, the family returned to Philadelphia, and Jerry resumed teaching Biology and Driver’s Education at Benjamin Franklin High School.

Throughout his life, Jerry was known for his love of his family, food, and the Philadelphia Eagles. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
