Gerald Guthrie, 85, passed away Oct. 8. His funeral will be private.
He was born on Nov. 3, 1936 in Yonkers, New York, to Harold Guthrie and Mary Smith Guthrie.

Jerry joined Local 91 as a pipe coverer in 1956, and worked in the union for 37 years. He also owned and operated Sportsman’s Pub and Jerry’s Lobster Pot in Fishkill, New York, where his infectious sense of humor endeared him to every patron who darkened the door.

He is also survived by his sister, Ann Marie Sherman of California; and his brother and sister-in-law, Timothy and Valerie Guthrie of Ridgefield. He is predeceased by his son, Michael Guthrie, and sister, Joan Guthrie Mahoney.
A private memorial service will be held by the family to honor Jerry’s wonderful life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association.
