WORCESTER - Gerald M. “Gerry” Shusas, 70, a life-long resident of Worcester, died peacefully at home under the loving care of his family on Thursday, September 19, 2013. He leaves his wife of 45 years, Theresa (Kerrigan) Shusas.
Born in Worcester to Paul F. and Jean (Wassell) Shusas, he was a 1962 graduate of North High School who served in the U.S. Air National Guard.

In addition to his wife, Theresa, he leaves two daughters, Kaitlyn K. Shusas of Worcester and Emily J. Shusas of Niskayuna, NY, and two brothers, Paul T. Shusas and his wife Christine of Worcester and Gary Shusas and his wife Linda of Florida. His brother-in-law, Father James Kerrigan of Rutland, predeceased him.
