Jerry passed away surrounded by his family on Wednesday, June 11, 2015 at his home. He was 77 years old.
Jerome "Jerry" Tucci was born on April 21, 1938 to John and Minnie (Scalise) Tucci in St. Paul, MN. He graduated from North St. Paul High School in 1956, and later from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's degree in Business. Jerry was united in marriage to Geraldine "Geri" (Younghans) on June 16, 1961 in St. Paul. To this union, three children were born. Jerry was a member of St. Theodore Catholic Church.
Jerry started his career with Minnesota Mining, and worked there for a few years. He moved his family to Albert Lea, where he began working at Streaters, where he later retired as the Vice President of Human Resources.
In his free time, Jerry volunteered his time with many organizations including the Rotary Club, where he was the Exchange Student Coordinator, he was on the Alpha Board, and was on the Board of Directors for Cedar Valley Services, along with many others. He liked to golf, fish, and was an excellent woodworker. He enjoyed giving his time to others, and helped any way that he could, where no job was too small.
Jerry is survived by his wife of 54 years, Geri Tucci of Albert Lea; daughters, Lisa (Tom) Hyland, of Owatonna, MN, Julie (Joe) Tucci-Catanzariti, of Estero, FL, and Laurie (Charles) Auger, of Santa Clarita, CA; grandchildren, Jill (Ryan) Heasley, Anne (Peter) Skonieczny, Jenna (Joe) Herzog, Hannah Auger, and Cal Auger; 5 great-grandchildren; brothers, Joe (Kathy) Zappa, Nick (Diane) Tucci, Ed (Patty) Zappa, Gene (Mary Ann) Zappa, and David (Marilyn) Tucci; 30 nieces and nephews, as well as many other relatives and friends.
