Obituary
Gerald Stork loved God's creation from the birds in the air to the fish in the sea, and he pursed his love interests with a passion as he lived his life to the fullest. From honoring his wife of 49 years to teaching his girls valuable lessons, from fishing to hunting, Gerald Stork cast a wide net of love.
Gerald Edward Stork was born to Herschell and Stella Stork in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, on November 14, 1939. He was one of three children raised in both Alabama and Texas. He graduated from Alba High School in 1960 and soon after joined the United States Army as a military police officer serving in New York and Germany. He married the love of his life, Betty Colleen Bosarge of Coden, Alabama, in April of 1961. They had four precious daughters: Deirdre "DeeDee," Jeri, Iris, and Lisa. They raised the girls in Palacios, Texas, where he was an avid sportsman and worked as a chemical plant operator at Alcoa. He retired in 1990 and enjoyed full-time sportsmen adventures, until he became ill in 2006. After a most valiant fight, he died in Victoria, Texas, October 12, 2010.
He is survived by his wife, Betty, of Palacios, daughters, Dee Dee Stork of Palacios, Jeri Corporon and son-in-law Dale Corporon of Yampa, Colorado, Iris Nelson and son-in-law Donatin Nelson of Dillon, Colorado, and Lisa Klaus and son-in-law Paul Klaus of Round Rock, TX. His pride and joy were his grandchildren, Aaron Corporon, Jeremy Corporon, Sarah Klaus, and Wyatt Nelson. He is also survived by one sister, Ginger Neimeyer, of Channelview, Texas, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, and sister, June Jones.
